Annabella, UT 84711 Frost Dates

When can you plant in Annabella, UT?

Zone 6a

The last spring frost here typically falls around 05/21, about 266 days from today. The first fall frost typically arrives around 09/24, about 125 frost-free days later.

The USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map puts Annabella in Zone 6a (-10 to -5°F average annual minimum); frost dates are NOAA's 1991-2020 station normal, not this year's forecast.

What to do before the first frost

About 4 weeks of growing season left in Annabella before the first fall frost — a cold frame or row cover can stretch harvest weeks past that date.

Why 05/21 isn't a guarantee

05/21 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Plant by 05/04 and you're betting against frost in roughly 9 years out of 10. 06/07 is the safer bet, historically only a 1-in-10 chance of frost that late.
