Dracaena can survive in pretty solid cold which means that you can plant them earlier in the year than other plants that might not handle the cold.

The last month that you can plant dracaena and expect a good harvest is probably September. Any later than that and your dracaena may not have a chance to fully mature. Starting your dracaena indoors is a great way to get them started a couple of weeks earlier.
