One of the best tools that you have as gardeners to help us figure out your gardening schedule is the USDA zone info. The zone info helps tell us things like average date of last frost and lowest expected temperature for your area.

You will be able to determine when to plant lysimachia by referring to the USDA zone info for Zone 13a.

Planting Calendar for Lysimachia

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

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

The earliest that you can plant lysimachia 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 lysimachia and expect a good harvest is probably November. You probably don't want to wait any later than that or else your lysimachia may not have a chance to fully mature. Starting your lysimachia indoors is a great way to get them started a couple of weeks earlier.

Last Frost Date

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

Always keep in mind that the actual date of last frost is not always accurate because it is based on the USDA zone info for Zone 13a and it will vary from year to year. Since it never frosts in Zone 13a you do not have to be ready to cover your lysimachia if you have a late frost.
