Photoperiods get 88 days between the daylight trigger and the killing freeze. 3,513 photoperiod varieties finish here, alongside 1,799 autoflowers.
Frost dates are Buffalo, NY’s: the median last spring and first autumn freeze across 1991 to 2020, from NOAA’s published US Climate Normals. Your own plot will differ by a week either way.
Showing 60 of them, split between the two flowering types and capped at three per breeder so a single large catalogue cannot fill the list.
Frost dates are 50%-probability averages. A sheltered, south-facing spot buys you a week or two; a low frost pocket costs you the same. Treat the margin as a planning number, not a guarantee.
