Daisy, AR: when does the frost end?

Zone 8a

Typically, the last spring freeze lands around 03/26, roughly 210 days out. Fall's first freeze usually shows up around 11/12, roughly 235 days after the last spring frost.

The USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map puts Daisy 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 Daisy's first fall frost, a row cover or cold frame is what stretches the last few weeks of harvest here.

The actual range around Daisy's last frost

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 04/11 and only about 1 year in 10 sees frost after that.
