Greenville, NC 27835 Frost Dates
Greenville, NC: when does the frost end?
Around 03/26 is the usual last spring frost, about 210 days away. Fall's first freeze usually shows up around 11/12, roughly 232 days after the last spring frost.
The USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map puts Greenville in Zone 8a (10 to 15°F average annual minimum); frost dates are NOAA's 1991-2020 station normal, not this year's forecast.
Stretching the season past the first frost
With roughly 11 weeks until Greenville's first fall frost, a row cover or cold frame is what stretches the last few weeks of harvest here.
How much risk comes with planting early here
03/26 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Getting tender plants in by 03/04 carries real risk, frost has hit that late in about 9 of 10 years here. Wait until 04/08 and only about 1 year in 10 sees frost after that.
