I does not matter. The most important thing is to make sure you keep it moist

Not sure what zone you live in. I would plant when grass starts to green up.

It's hard to say. I live in Florida and planted the seeds in March. They were slow to move. Now we are in late November...the air is cooler and they are finally starting to grow. Not the easiest to grow for me, and will attempt again next year to see if it was something that I did wrong.

Hi Diane, I have found the best way to plant the clivia is in pots. Although I live in the south, they are very sensitive to the mild winters we have. When planting, go up one size only of the pot. They prefer to be root bound. As the roots begin to form on top of the soil, then it's time to repot. I've had wonderful blooms for many years now doing it this way. Also, I think the only way to get full blooms from them is to let them rest during the winter. No water for the month of November, water once in December and you will be rewarded in late January-early February with blooms. Hope this helps you!

Depends on where you live. I live in Ky and I can get it to grow spring and fall

Hi Carrie :) I live in the Lancaster are of PA...we are about what I would call zone 5.5 :) They grew perfectly well...and they even sprouted in the dead of winter in my greenhouse ( which is kind of chilly in December). Go for it :)

I don't know what a North Dakota zone 3 winter is defined, ( did not check the internet) But, according to what I have read in the Bonsai Basics by Colin Lewis, the Satsuki Azalea will tolerate full sun for a while but but will perform at their best if kept in semi shade, or even full shade during mid-summer. The flowers also last a lot longer in semi-shade. In winter, protect from wind at al times and bring the tree into a frost- free garage or shed if tempertures threaten to stay below -5 degrees C or (23 degrees F) for more than a day or so.

i have not received my seed yet , apparently it got lost but the shipper is re-sending it to me.in the caribbean here we just plant in the soil , but for other countries with snow you have to refridgerate for at least 2 - 4 weeks before planting.

The Persimmon tree can be planted in growing zones 7-10, sometimes with great care it can be grown in zone 6B. With the way the Winters have been in the NorthEast I would not plant in the ground.

Yes. the internet says that it grows in zones 3 to 11. I don't live that far north but my winters are cold. Mine does fine.

Always had better luck in the spring so roots get established. You can still plant in the fall but it will be slow going the following summer.

I planted mine in the spring after danger of hard frost. Once established they are very hardy. I planted mine similar to how they grew up in Canada although I'm now in West Virginia. That was morning sun. We often found them growing along the edges of the woods. Depending on where you are you may still have time to plant them outdoors. They might need extra protection on some of the odd very cold nights but once their root system is established they should be fine.

July/August is probably quite a bit too late for most of the country; spring is generally better for planting. I live in USDA hardiness zone 7b (USDA hardiness zones are one indicator of ideal planting times) and had to plant in May or so (and that was late). Most of northern California has higher numbers (higher than 7b) for the zones (higher numbers indicate hotter average temperatures, which means even earlier planting times than what I used). So this is probably not the best time of year in your situation.

I grow the. In pa. Planted them in late May ,cool nights kept them from growing ,now they are moving .I think if you have a spot that gets some shade during the late afternoon they will take the heat

We planted ours up in Northern Arizona during the summer. Depending where you are at in Texas will determine how well it will grow. I think if you are in central Texas you might have a lot of success. Our clover came up really well once the summer rain started. We will have snow in the winter, but it comes back quickly each summer and flourishes. This seed was excellent and I will be ordering it again next spring.

When you don't have any more cold/frost at night. Here in Ct., I put my seedlings in end of April, beginning of May. It's a good head start on what you put in your garden.

They should grow great there. Like others have said, you will need full sun (at least 6 hours per day,) for bloom.
