Before planting it is a good idea to find your USDA Zone info to figure out 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 figuring out when it's possible to plant nemesia is to examine the USDA zone info for Wylie.

Planting Calendar for Nemesia

Frost tolerance for nemesia:	Not tolerant of frost.
When to plant:	After all chance of frost has passed.

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

The earliest that you can plant nemesia in Wylie 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. Any later than that and your nemesia may not have a chance to really do well. You can get started a little bit earlier by starting your nemesia indoors.

Last Frost Date

In Wylie the average date of last frost happens on March 15. In the coldest months of winter you should expect an average low temperature of 10°F.

Just be sure to remember that the actual date of last frost is just an average because it is based on the USDA zone info for Wylie and it is different every year. Half of the time in Wylie there is a last frost after March 15 so make sure that you are prepared to cover your nemesia if you have a surprise late frost.
