Keep in mind when planting that Milk Shake is thought of as half hardy, so remember to protect this plant from frosts and low temperatures. Ensure your soil has a ph of between 6.0 and 8.0 as Milk Shake is a weakly acidic soil - weakly alkaline soil loving plant.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Milk Shake about 56 days before your last frost date.

Transplanting Milk Shake

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Milk Shake is a half hardy plant.
