Geum tend to make it in very little cold which means that you can plant them slightly earlier in the year than more sensitive plants.

The earliest that you can plant geum in Sugar Land 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 geum and expect a good harvest is probably September. Any later than that and your geum may not have a chance to fully mature. If you are starting your geum indoors then you might be able to get away with starting them a few weeks earlier.
