When to plant
In USDA zone 6, for example: Plant around Apr 29, once frost danger has passed. It's container-grown, so any mild spell after that will do.

Dates are the typical window for each zone's average frost dates — your own last frost can differ by a couple of weeks. Zone 10 and warmer is effectively frost-free: plant to the season, not the frost. Southern Hemisphere: shift six months.
