Since anagallis are one of those plants that can tolerate a tiny bit of cold weather you can plant them just a tiny bit earlier in the year than more sensitive plants.

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 really do well. If you are starting your anagallis indoors then you might be able to get away with starting them a couple of weeks earlier.
