One of the best tools that you have as gardeners to help us estimate your gardening schedule is the USDA zone info. The zone info helps tell us things like average date of last frost and lowest expected temperature for your area.

A way of determining when you can plant heuchera is to use the USDA zone info for Kyle.

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

Heuchera do well in some cold which tells us that you can plant them a little earlier in the year than more sensitive plants.

The earliest that you can plant heuchera in Kyle 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 heuchera and expect a good harvest is probably September. You probably don't want to wait any later than that or else your heuchera may not have a chance to really do well. Starting your heuchera indoors is a great way to get them started a few weeks earlier.

Last Frost Date
