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

One way of figuring out when it's the best time to plant anagallis is to refer to the USDA zone info for Winters.

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.

Anagallis are barely cold tolerant which means that you can plant them slightly earlier than other plants that might not handle the cold.

The earliest that you can plant anagallis in Winters 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. Any later than that and your anagallis may not have a chance to fully mature. Starting your anagallis indoors is a great way to get them started a little bit earlier.

Last Frost Date

The average date of last frost is February 15 in Winters. In the coldest months of winter you can expect an average low temperature of 25°F.

Since the USDA zone info for Winters is just an average the actual date of last frost is different every year. Half of the time in Winters there is a last frost after February 15 so be sure to be ready to protect your anagallis if you have a surprise late frost.
