The USDA Zone info is a great tool for gardeners to help us figure out your gardening schedule. The zone info helps tell us things like average date of last frost and lowest expected temperature for your area.

The first chance to plant anagallis in Clay can be determined by reviewing the USDA zone info.

Planting Calendar for Anagallis

Frost tolerance for anagallis:	Tolerant of a very small amount of frost.
When to plant:	Up to 3 weeks before last frost.

You can plant anagallis a bit earlier in the year because they are barely cold tolerant.

The earliest that you can plant anagallis in Clay is March. However, you really should wait until April if you don't want to take any chances.

The last month that you can plant anagallis and expect a good harvest is probably August. Any later than that and your anagallis may not have a chance to fully mature. You can get started a couple of weeks earlier by starting your anagallis indoors.

Last Frost Date

The average date of last frost is April 15 in Clay. It might get as low as 5°F during the coldest months of winter.

Since the USDA zone info for Clay is not always accurate the actual date of last frost changes from year to year. Half of the time in Clay you get a frost after April 15 so just be sure to be ready to protect your anagallis if you have one of those late frosts.
