When to plant Kleim's Hardy

Plant Kleim's Hardy 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 May to July.

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