One of the best tools that you have as gardeners to help us determine your gardening schedule is the USDA zone info. The zone info helps tell us things like average date of last frost and lowest expected temperature for your area.

A way of estimating when you can plant myosotis is to examine the USDA zone info for Leonia.

The last month that you can plant myosotis and expect a good harvest is probably September. You probably don't want to wait any later than that or else 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.
