Tender Plants Say Ouch! 🥶 A surprise late frost can seriously hurt or even KO heat-loving plants (tomatoes, basil, zinnias, cucumbers – looking at you!). We want happy plants, not sad, frozen ones!

Timing is Everything! Knowing the average date the frost danger passes helps you time your planting perfectly. After this date? Much safer for those tender babies!

Zip it Good! Just type your zip code into the box above.

Instant Estimate! Our tool gives you the estimated timeframe for the last typical frost in your zone, based on years of weather history. Super handy!

It's an Educated Guess! This date is an average, not a crystal ball prediction! 🔮 Every year is a little different, and your yard might even be slightly warmer or colder than the general area.

Be a Forecast Fanatic! ALWAYS check your local weather forecast (like, the next 7-10 days) before you put tender plants in the ground. Watch out for sneaky cold snaps!

Buffer Zone = Smart Gardener! 👍 Many gardeners (even the pros!) wait an extra week or two after the average last frost date, especially for their favorite plants. Better safe than sorry!
