Sutera tend to make it in very little cold which means that you can plant them a bit earlier in the year than more sensitive plants.

The earliest that you can plant sutera in Atlanta is March. However, you really should wait until April if you don't want to take any chances.

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