Before planting it is a good idea to find your USDA Zone info to figure out your garden schedule. The zone info helps tell us things like average date of last frost and lowest expected temperature for your area.

One way of figuring out when it's a good idea to plant statice is to use the USDA zone info for Spring Hill.

When to plant:	Up to 5 weeks before last frost.

You can plant statice a bit earlier in the year because they are one of those plants that can tolerate a little bit of cold weather.

The earliest that you can plant statice in Spring Hill is February. However, you really should wait until March if you don't want to take any chances.

The last month that you can plant statice and expect a good harvest is probably September. You probably don't want to wait any later than that or else your statice may not have a chance to fully mature. You can get started a couple of weeks earlier by starting your statice indoors.

Last Frost Date

The average date of last frost is April 15 in Spring Hill. It might get as low as 0°F during the coldest months of winter.

Since the USDA zone info for Spring Hill is just an average the actual date of last frost is different every year. Half of the time in Spring Hill there is a last frost after April 15 so make sure that you are prepared to cover your statice if you have a surprise late frost.
