One of the first steps you take when you are determining 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.

A common way of getting a good idea when to plant oxalis is to refer to the USDA zone info for Woodland.

Planting Calendar for Oxalis

Frost tolerance for oxalis:	Not tolerant of frost.
When to plant:	After the last frost when the weather gets warmer.

You really shouldn't plant oxalis until after the last frost because they require warm weather.

The earliest that you can plant oxalis in Woodland 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 oxalis and expect a good harvest is probably August. Any later than that and your oxalis may not have a chance to fully mature. If you are starting your oxalis indoors then you might be able to get away with starting them a couple of weeks earlier.

Last Frost Date

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

Just be sure to remember that USDA zone info for Woodland is not always accurate and the actual date of last frost will vary from year to year. Half of the time in Woodland you get a frost after March 15 so always be ready to protect your oxalis if you have a surprise late frost.
