Before planting it is a good idea to find your USDA Zone info to estimate your garden schedule. The most important data that the zone info tells us is average last frost and the lowest expected temperature for your area.

In Ashdown you can estimate when it's the best time to plant anagallis by checking out the USDA zone info.

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