One of the first steps you take when you are estimating your gardening schedule is find your USDA Zone info. The zone info helps tell us things like average date of last frost and lowest expected temperature for your area.

In Hurricane you can figure out when to plant fiber optic grass by looking at the USDA zone info.

Planting Calendar for Fiber Optic Grass

Frost tolerance for fiber optic grass:	Not tolerant of frost.
When to plant:	After the last frost has passed.

It's not a good idea to plant fiber optic grass until after the last frost has passed because they require warm weather.

The earliest that you can plant fiber optic grass in Hurricane 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 fiber optic grass and expect a good harvest is probably August. Any later than that and your fiber optic grass may not have a chance to really do well. If you are starting your fiber optic grass indoors then you might be able to get away with starting them a couple of weeks earlier.

Last Frost Date
