A way of making a decision about when it's possible to plant scutellaria is to check out the USDA zone info for Miami.

Planting Calendar for Scutellaria

When to plant:	After the last frost.

Scutellaria do not do well in cold weather which means that you have to wait until it warms up after the last frost when the weather gets warmer before you can plant them.

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

The last month that you can plant scutellaria and expect a good harvest is probably November. If you wait any later than that and your scutellaria may not have a chance to fully mature. You can get started a little bit earlier by starting your scutellaria indoors.
