In Brush you can estimate when to plant myosotis by looking at the USDA zone info.

Planting Calendar for Myosotis

Frost tolerance for myosotis:	Tolerant of some frost.
When to plant:	Up to 5 weeks before last frost.

Myosotis tend to make it in a little bit of cold which tells us that you can plant them just a bit earlier in the year than other plants that might not handle the cold.

The earliest that you can plant myosotis in Brush 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 myosotis and expect a good harvest is probably September. If you wait any later than that and your myosotis may not have a chance to grow to maturity. Starting your myosotis indoors is a great way to get them started a couple of weeks earlier.
