Keep in mind when planting that Illico is thought of as hardy, so this plant will survive close to or on freezing temperatures. A soil ph of between 6.1 and 7.8 is ideal for Illico as it does best in weakly acidic soil - weakly alkaline soil.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Illico about 45 days before your last frost date.

As Illico is hardy, ensure temperatures are mild enough to plant out - wait until after your last frost date to be on the safe side.
