You can figure out when it's possible to plant scutellaria in Savannah by referring to the USDA zone info.

Planting Calendar for Scutellaria

When to plant:	After the last frost.

It's probably not a good idea to plant scutellaria until after the last frost when the weather gets warmer because they do not do well in cold weather.

The earliest that you can plant scutellaria in Savannah 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. Starting your scutellaria indoors is a great way to get them started a few weeks earlier.
