Before planting it is a good idea to find your USDA Zone info to figure out your garden schedule. The most important data that the zone info tells us is average last frost and the lowest expected temperature for your area.

By referring to the USDA zone info for Geneseo it's a good idea to estimate when you can plant myosotis.

Planting Calendar for Myosotis

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

Myosotis tend to make it in mild cold which tells us that you can plant them just a bit earlier in the year than plants that are more sensitive to the cold.

The earliest that you can plant myosotis in Geneseo 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. Any later than that and your myosotis may not have a chance to grow to maturity. If you are starting your myosotis indoors then you might be able to get away with starting them a few weeks earlier.

Last Frost Date

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

Always keep in mind that the actual date of last frost is not always accurate because it is based on the USDA zone info for Geneseo and it changes from year to year. Half of the time in Geneseo there is a last frost after April 15 so always be ready to cover your myosotis if you have a late frost.
