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.

One way of figuring out when you can plant anagallis is to check out the USDA zone info for Katy.

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.

Anagallis do well in a tiny bit of cold which tells us that you can plant them slightly earlier in the year than other frost tender plants.

The earliest that you can plant anagallis in Katy 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 anagallis and expect a good harvest is probably September. Any later than that and 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.

Last Frost Date

The average date of last frost is February 15 in Katy. It might get as low as 20°F during the coldest months of winter.

Since the USDA zone info for Katy is an average the actual date of last frost will vary from year to year. Half of the time in Katy there is a last frost after February 15 so just be sure to be ready to cover your anagallis if you have a late frost.
