One way of making a decision about when you can plant bacopa is to examine the USDA zone info for Dinuba.

Since bacopa are one of those plants that can tolerate a tiny bit of cold weather you can plant them a bit earlier in the year than other frost tender plants.

The earliest that you can plant bacopa in Dinuba 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. Starting your bacopa indoors is a great way to get them started a few weeks earlier.
