One of the best tools that you have as gardeners to help us figure out your gardening schedule is the 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 Glasgow you can estimate when it's possible to plant tritoma by looking at the USDA zone info.

Planting Calendar for Tritoma

Frost tolerance for tritoma:	Very tolerant of frost.
When to plant:	Up to 7 weeks before last frost.

Tritoma do well in cold which means that you can plant them much earlier than plants that are more sensitive to the cold.

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

The last month that you can plant tritoma and expect a good harvest is probably September. Any later than that and your tritoma may not have a chance to really do well. Starting your tritoma indoors is a great way to get them started a few weeks earlier.

Always keep in mind that USDA zone info for Glasgow is not always accurate and the actual date of last frost is different every year. Half of the time in Glasgow last frost occurs after April 15 so just be sure to be ready to cover your tritoma if you have a late frost.
