In Taunton you can estimate when to plant anagallis by using the USDA zone info.

The last month that you can plant anagallis and expect a good harvest is probably August. If you wait any later than that and your anagallis may not have a chance to grow to maturity. You can get started a little bit earlier by starting your anagallis indoors.
