Growing Tuscarora

Plant it in full sun. It prefers low water. It is hardy in USDA zones 7–10. Expect it to reach about 16 ft tall and 13 ft wide at maturity, in roughly 5 years.

When to plant Tuscarora

Plant Tuscarora in early spring as soon as the soil is workable, or in early fall at least six weeks before your first frost, so roots establish in cool weather. For the middle of its hardy zones 7 to 10 range, spring means February to April and fall means September or October. Once settled, it blooms from July to September.

Month-by-month timing for your zone is on the planting calendar: for the middle of its range, start with zone 8 in February.
