You can estimate when you can plant bidens in Cameron by looking at the USDA zone info.

It's not a good idea to plant bidens until after the last frost because they do not do well in cold weather.

The last month that you can plant bidens and expect a good harvest is probably August. You probably don't want to wait any later than that or else your bidens may not have a chance to grow to maturity. Starting your bidens indoors is a great way to get them started a little bit earlier.
