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.

It's possible to determine when you can plant aubretia by reviewing the USDA zone info for Zone 13b.

Aubretia tend to make it in cold weather which tells us that you can plant them a lot earlier in the year than more sensitive plants.

The last month that you can plant aubretia and expect a good harvest is probably November. Any later than that and your aubretia may not have a chance to fully mature. You can get started a little bit earlier by starting your aubretia indoors.

Last Frost Date
