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 Belen you can determine when it's possible to plant anagallis by looking at the USDA zone info.

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.

Since anagallis do ok in moderate cold you can plant them slightly earlier in the year than more sensitive plants.

The earliest that you can plant anagallis in Belen 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 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 few weeks earlier.
