Soil, hardiness and a planting calendar for Clackmannanshire — across 5 postcode districts.
Winter hardiness
A colder, RHS H5 area — winters can reach -11°C. Choose fully hardy varieties; tender and many half-hardy plants need a greenhouse or lifting over winter, and spring planting is safer than autumn.
Rain & growing season
A wet climate (1086mm a year): plants rarely go thirsty, but lean on good drainage, disease-resistant varieties and falls that shed water off paving and lawns. A short growing season (~288 frost-free days) — sow under cover, plant tender crops out late, and choose quick-maturing varieties.
