The USDA Zone info is a great tool for gardeners to help us figure out your gardening schedule. The most important data that the zone info tells us is average last frost and the lowest expected temperature for your area.

A common way of figuring out when it's possible to plant sutera is to consult the USDA zone info for Kyle.

Planting Calendar for Sutera

When to plant:	Up to 3 weeks before last frost.

Since sutera are barely cold tolerant you can plant them a bit earlier in the year than more sensitive plants.

The earliest that you can plant sutera in Kyle 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 grow to maturity. You can get started a little bit earlier by starting your sutera indoors.

Last Frost Date

The average date of last frost is March 15 in Kyle. You can expect an average low temperature of 15°F in the coldest months of winter.
