Before planting it is a good idea to find your USDA Zone info to figure out your garden schedule. The zone info helps tell us things like average date of last frost and lowest expected temperature for your area.

In Hampshire you can estimate when you can plant myosotis by looking at the USDA zone info.

Planting Calendar for Myosotis

Frost tolerance for myosotis:	Tolerant of some frost.
When to plant:	Up to 5 weeks before last frost.

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

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

Last Frost Date

The average date of last frost is April 15 in Hampshire. You can expect an average low temperature of -15°F in the coldest months of winter.

Since the USDA zone info for Hampshire may not be accurate from year to year the actual date of last frost changes from year to year. Half of the time in Hampshire last frost occurs after April 15 so make sure that you are ready to cover your myosotis if you have a late frost.
