Before planting it is a good idea to find your USDA Zone info to estimate your garden schedule. The most important data that the zone info tells us is average last frost and the lowest expected temperature for your area.

One way of making a decision about when you can plant nemesia is to look at the USDA zone info for San Angelo.

Planting Calendar for Nemesia

Frost tolerance for nemesia:	Not tolerant of frost.
When to plant:	After the last frost.

Since nemesia are not cold tolerant it's necessary to wait until after the last frost has passed before you can plant them.

The earliest that you can plant nemesia in San Angelo 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 nemesia and expect a good harvest is probably August. You probably don't want to wait any later than that or else your nemesia may not have a chance to grow to maturity. Starting your nemesia indoors is a great way to get them started a few weeks earlier.
