In Bell Gardens you can determine when it's possible to plant geum by reviewing the USDA zone info.

Planting Calendar for Geum

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

Geum can survive in a tiny bit of cold which means that you can plant them just a tiny bit earlier in the year than more sensitive plants.

The earliest that you can plant geum in Bell Gardens 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 geum and expect a good harvest is probably September. You probably don't want to wait any later than that or else your geum may not have a chance to really do well. You can get started a little bit earlier by starting your geum indoors.
