The USDA Zone info is a great tool for gardeners to help us estimate your gardening schedule. The zone info helps tell us things like average date of last frost and lowest expected temperature for your area.

In Fate you can figure out when it's a good idea to plant evolvulus by referring to the USDA zone info.

Planting Calendar for Evolvulus

Frost tolerance for evolvulus:	Not tolerant of frost.
When to plant:	After the last frost when the weather gets warmer.

You can not plant evolvulus until after the last frost because they require warm weather.

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

The last month that you can plant evolvulus and expect a good harvest is probably August. You probably don't want to wait any later than that or else your evolvulus may not have a chance to grow to maturity. If you are starting your evolvulus indoors then you might be able to get away with starting them a little bit earlier.
