Myosotis can survive in moderate cold which tells us that you can plant them a little earlier in the year than more sensitive plants.

The earliest that you can plant myosotis in Alpine 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. You probably don't want to wait any later than that or else your myosotis may not have a chance to fully mature. If you are starting your myosotis indoors then you might be able to get away with starting them a few weeks earlier.
