Before planting it is a good idea to find your USDA Zone info to estimate your garden schedule. The zone info helps tell us things like average date of last frost and lowest expected temperature for your area.

In Alpine you can estimate when to plant myosotis by referring to the USDA zone info.

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 a little bit of cold which tells us that you can plant them a little bit 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 grow to maturity. If you are starting your myosotis indoors then you might be able to get away with starting them a couple of weeks earlier.

Last Frost Date

The average date of last frost is April 15 in Alpine. In the coldest months of winter you can expect an average low temperature of -5°F.

Remember that USDA zone info for Alpine is an average and the actual date of last frost is different every year. Half of the time in Alpine you get a frost after April 15 so make sure that you are prepared to cover your myosotis in the event of a late frost.
