Paradise, UT: when does the frost end?

Zone 6a

Typically, the last spring freeze lands around 05/25, roughly 270 days out. Fall's first freeze usually shows up around 09/26, roughly 123 days after the last spring frost.

The USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map puts Paradise in Zone 6a (-10 to -5°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 4 weeks until Paradise's first fall frost, a row cover or cold frame is what stretches the last few weeks of harvest here.

The actual range around Paradise's last frost

05/25 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Getting tender plants in by 05/04 carries real risk, frost has hit that late in about 9 of 10 years here. Wait until 06/16 and only about 1 year in 10 sees frost after that.
