Before planting it is a good idea to find your USDA Zone info to figure out 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 Brentwood you can determine when to plant bacopa by referring to the USDA zone info.

Planting Calendar for Bacopa

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

Since bacopa do ok in moderate cold you can plant them slightly earlier in the year than more sensitive plants.

The earliest that you can plant bacopa in Brentwood 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 bacopa and expect a good harvest is probably September. You probably don't want to wait any later than that or else your bacopa may not have a chance to fully mature. If you are starting your bacopa indoors then you might be able to get away with starting them a few weeks earlier.

Last Frost Date

Half of the time in Brentwood there is a last frost after February 15 so be sure to be ready to cover your bacopa in the event of a late frost.
