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.

Since anagallis are barely cold tolerant you can plant them a bit earlier in the year than more sensitive plants.

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