Since dipladenia do not do well in cold weather it's necessary to wait until after the last frost has passed before you can plant them.

The last month that you can plant dipladenia and expect a good harvest is probably August. You probably don't want to wait any later than that or else your dipladenia may not have a chance to grow to maturity. You can get started a few weeks earlier by starting your dipladenia indoors.
