Safe to Plant Yet? #930698

I would like to plant two hostas in my front yard. Is this weekend still too cold?

Linn County Iowa

Expert Response

The recommendation is to plant in April and May after danger of hard frost is passed. You should be safe to plant now. Just keep an eye on the temperatures and if there is a frost warning try to protect the tender new plants at night.
