Viburnum, MO 65456 Frost Dates

When can you plant in Viburnum, MO?

Zone 6b

Around 04/26 is the usual last spring frost, about 241 days away. The first fall frost typically arrives around 10/08, about 164 frost-free days later.

Viburnum sits in USDA Zone 6b (-5 to 0°F average annual minimum). The dates above are NOAA's 1991-2020 normal at the nearest reporting station, a 30-year average, not a forecast.

What to do before the first frost

About 6 weeks of growing season left in Viburnum before the first fall frost — a cold frame or row cover can stretch harvest weeks past that date.

Why 04/26 isn't a guarantee

04/26 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Plant by 04/09 and you're betting against frost in roughly 9 years out of 10. 05/12 is the safer bet, historically only a 1-in-10 chance of frost that late.
