Since bacopa are barely cold tolerant you can plant them slightly earlier in the year than more sensitive plants.

The earliest that you can plant bacopa in Beverly is March. However, you really should wait until April if you don't want to take any chances.

The last month that you can plant bacopa and expect a good harvest is probably August. If you wait any later than that and your bacopa may not have a chance to grow to maturity. If you are starting your bacopa indoors then you might be able to get away with starting them a little bit earlier.
