Utah Planting Calendar

Utah spans USDA zones 6a, 6b, 7a, 7b. Last spring frost runs from April 8 to May 13 depending on where you are, which is weeks of difference — so pick the location nearest you rather than planting to a statewide date.

Bottom line: a statewide planting date is a compromise nobody's garden actually lives at. Utah's last-frost spread is 35 days wide. Use the location nearest you.
