Since euphorbia are barely cold tolerant you can plant them a bit earlier in the year than other frost tender plants.

The last month that you can plant euphorbia and expect a good harvest is probably September. Any later than that and your euphorbia may not have a chance to grow to maturity. If you are starting your euphorbia indoors then you might be able to get away with starting them a few weeks earlier.
