Dallas, TX 75215 Frost Dates
Dallas, TX: when does the frost end?
Typically, the last spring freeze lands around 03/06, roughly 190 days out. Fall's first freeze usually shows up around 11/25, roughly 265 days after the last spring frost.
Dallas sits in USDA Zone 8b (15 to 20°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.
Stretching the season past the first frost
With roughly 13 weeks until Dallas'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
03/06 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Getting tender plants in by 02/15 carries real risk, frost has hit that late in about 9 of 10 years here. Wait until 03/26 and only about 1 year in 10 sees frost after that.
