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 are one of those plants that can tolerate a tiny bit of cold weather you can plant them a bit earlier in the year than other plants that might not handle the cold.

The earliest that you can plant anagallis in Canton is April. However, you really should wait until May 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 grow to maturity. If you are starting your anagallis indoors then you might be able to get away with starting them a little bit earlier.
