The USDA Zone info is a great tool for gardeners to help us figure out your gardening 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 determining when it's the best time to plant heuchera is to consult the USDA zone info for Redmond.

Planting Calendar for Heuchera

Frost tolerance for heuchera:	Tolerant of some frost.
When to plant:	Up to 5 weeks before last frost.

Heuchera can survive in a little bit of cold which tells us that you can plant them just a bit earlier in the year than plants that are more sensitive to the cold.

The earliest that you can plant heuchera in Redmond is February. However, you really should wait until March if you don't want to take any chances.

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

Last Frost Date

The average date of last frost is March 15 in Redmond. In the coldest months of winter you should expect an average low temperature of 15°F.

Since the USDA zone info for Redmond is not always accurate the actual date of last frost is different every year. Half of the time in Redmond it frosts late in the year after March 15 so be sure to be ready to cover your heuchera if you have one of those late frosts.
