When is the best time to plant? Will planting early winter work for next year?

I wish I could give a good response except I'm in San Diego and we have no rain. Maybe this fall.

I live in San Diego and due to the drought, I am unable to report on the plants progress. Check back this fall.

I'd hold off for the season and put down a good winterizer in the fall, followed by a strong pre-emergent fertilizer/weed controller in the early spring. Like I said, I had zero success with this product.

I'm not a plant expert. I live in Chicago and I am waiting till late April or early May to get a few. I did get some last year and they grew big. They need a lots of room for roots so you will need a really big pot of in the ground. I don't have a place to bring them in for the winter but if you read up on them it says they can endure winter if they are protected. Good luck.

Depends where you live. If you get snow, leave it until spring. Otherwise it should work but it needs to build heat to bresk down the leaves. Above 40 degrees for sure.

yes and best to lay out late winter early spring if spring is dry water occasionally until it sprouts and gets established

I can only answer that from the perspective of where I live. I live in Louisiana, which right now we are getting freezing temperatures but rarely do we have a hard freeze. i can start seedlings outside (I use old egg cartons with a bit of plastic wrap for a few days before I see sprouts, mind you not much pops up) or, I use my little plastic green house which I have outside as well. If you are in an area with a hard winter then start them inside or in a little green house (old milk jugs work) if you try and harden them off to the weather as they get much heartier inside then you will have more success. These are good seeds though so don't worry about loosing a few if you have planted a good bit of seedlings. Depending on where you are located you will have trouble growing a few of the varieties but its more of a matter of doing a bit of research on the plants you want to grow ahead of time and just being aware that it might not work. As they grow larger (for example my dill got rather large since I started them inside, then moved them to the greenhouse before planting them in the ground) just let them go to seed and they will come back (the dill seedlings have survived all of our freezing weather.)

I live in Rhode Island and the winters are somewhat harsh. When would you recommend I plant the seeds?

Our temps here in Mo are still swinging dramatically. 70s one day, 50s the next and night temps still dipping in the upper 30s and 40s -if I would order them now I'd go the pot route. If you live in the South and winter temps don't go below 50, I'd put right in the ground. I planted mine in large (very large) decoratine pots and moved into the garage over winter -our winter temps run in the minus temps and only the strongest survive. My friends who had these plants live in the deep South so I assumed they prefer and thrive with the warmer temps dspite their claim that they are Northern hardy Our temps here in Mo are still swinging dramatically. 70s one day, 50s the next and night temps still dipping in the upper 30s and 40s -if I would order them now I'd go the pot route.

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

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 don't think so.The plant I got was not in bloom at all but with time and feeding it soon did yes.This plant seems to grow very well no matter where you plant it and it grows pretty fast too yay.Also it will depend on where you live. If it's cold then it won't bloom until it's warmer.Also you need to keep an eye on this plant or it will take over your whole yard lol. I keep mine in a pot for this very reason.Hope this helps have a great day and good luck. ^_^

I was told that in the fall is the best time. The recurring vegetation is trying to collect nutrients to last the winter, so it takes it down to the roots to store.

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 got mine & planted in the fall, next spring, only 2 came up. i read that the best time to plant is in the spring. probably a 25 foot row would be good.

Go for it, I am sure the season will be long enough. Besides, what will not planting them yield? :)

I'm not an expert in this area, but I think they have a chance. These quick growing trees are evergreens and like a lot of water in the growing season. I would plant it 2 - 4 inches deeper than the apparent soil-line to avoid freezing. The instructions recommended growing the tree inside for the first year. My plant has grown very well and recently sprouted new shoots (in the fall/winter season....indoors). I really like the tree.................

In our part of the country (NC piedmont) the plants emerge in mid-June and flower around July 1. If you plant in the fall, the soil temperature may not germinate, the amount of sunlight, and the day/night air temperature may not allow the plant to thrive and bloom. However, in a sunny, warm and moist spot, it may be possible for the seeds to emerge and flower, but I suspect nature will need a bit of help along the way. Good luck.
