When to plant angels trumpet

Set angels trumpet out after the last spring frost, giving roots plenty of room and avoiding full sun in hot climates. It tolerates light frost but in zones colder than 7b mulch the base for overwintering (it dies back and regrows from the ground) or grow it in a container moved indoors before hard cold.

Angels Trumpet is timed by season rather than your frost dates, so the planting calendar does not generate ZIP-specific dates for it. Check the cited sources below to fine-tune for your area.
