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

In Zone 13a you can determine when you can plant lunaria by reviewing the USDA zone info.

Planting Calendar for Lunaria

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

Lunaria can survive in mild cold which tells us that you can plant them just a bit earlier in the year than other frost tender plants.

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

Last Frost Date

In Zone 13a it never frosts. You can expect an average low temperature of 60°F in the coldest months of winter.

Just be sure to remember that USDA zone info for Zone 13a may not be accurate from year to year and 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 protect your lunaria if you have a surprise late frost.
