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.

In Midvale you can estimate when it's the best time to plant dichondra by using the USDA zone info.

The last month that you can plant dichondra and expect a good harvest is probably August. Any later than that and your dichondra may not have a chance to fully mature. You can get started a little bit earlier by starting your dichondra indoors.
