One of the first steps you take when you are making a decision about your gardening schedule is find your USDA Zone info. The most important data that the zone info tells us is average last frost and the lowest expected temperature for your area.

You can estimate when you can plant heuchera in Zone 13a by using the USDA zone info.

Planting Calendar for Heuchera

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

You can plant heuchera a bit earlier in the year because they are moderately cold tolerant.

The earliest that you can plant heuchera in Zone 13a is January. However, you really should wait until February if you don't want to take any chances.

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

Last Frost Date

Since the USDA zone info for Zone 13a is an average the actual date of last frost changes from year to year. Since it never frosts in Zone 13a you do not have to be ready to cover your heuchera in the event of a late frost.
