In Glasgow you can determine when you can plant doronicum by checking out the USDA zone info.

Doronicum do well in moderate cold which means that you can plant them just a bit earlier in the year than more sensitive plants.

The last month that you can plant doronicum and expect a good harvest is probably September. Any later than that and your doronicum may not have a chance to really do well. If you are starting your doronicum indoors then you might be able to get away with starting them a little bit earlier.
