One of the best tools that you have as gardeners to help us figure out your gardening schedule is the USDA zone info. The zone info helps tell us things like average date of last frost and lowest expected temperature for your area.

One way of making a decision about when to plant scallions is to use the USDA zone info for Anaheim.

Planting Calendar for Scallions

Frost tolerance for scallions:	Tolerant of a very small amount of frost.
When to plant:	Up to 3 weeks before last frost.

Scallions can survive in some cold which means that you can plant them a bit earlier in the year than more sensitive plants.

The earliest that you can plant scallions in Anaheim is February. However, you really should wait until March if you don't want to take any chances.

The last month that you can plant scallions and expect a good harvest is probably September. You probably don't want to wait any later than that or else your scallions may not have a chance to fully mature. Starting your scallions indoors is a great way to get them started a couple of weeks earlier.

Last Frost Date

On average the last frost has passed is on January 31 in Anaheim. You should expect an average low temperature of 35°F in the coldest months of winter.

Always keep in mind that USDA zone info for Anaheim is not always accurate and the actual date of last frost can change quite a bit from year to year. Since half of the time in Anaheim it frosts late in the year after January 31 be ready to protect your scallions if you have a surprise late frost.
