One of the first steps you take when you are figuring out your gardening schedule is find your USDA Zone info. The most important data that the zone info tells us is average last frost and the lowest expected temperature for your area.

In Lagrange you can estimate when you can plant scutellaria by using the USDA zone info.

Planting Calendar for Scutellaria

Frost tolerance for scutellaria:	Not tolerant of frost.
When to plant:	After the last frost has passed.

You really shouldn't plant scutellaria until after the last frost when the weather gets warmer because they are not cold tolerant.

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

The last month that you can plant scutellaria and expect a good harvest is probably August. Any later than that and your scutellaria may not have a chance to fully mature. You can get started a few weeks earlier by starting your scutellaria indoors.
