One of the best tools that you have as gardeners to help us determine your gardening schedule is the USDA zone info. The zone info helps tell us things like average date of last frost and lowest expected temperature for your area.

A common way of making a decision about when to plant anagallis is to consult the USDA zone info for Sandy.

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 ok in mild cold which means that you can plant them just a tiny bit earlier in the year than plants that are more sensitive to the cold.

The earliest that you can plant anagallis in Sandy is March. However, you really should wait until April 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 fully mature. Starting your anagallis indoors is a great way to get them started a couple of weeks earlier.

Last Frost Date

It's important to remember that USDA zone info for Sandy is not always accurate and the actual date of last frost is different every year. Half of the time in Sandy there is a last frost after April 15 so be sure to be ready to protect your anagallis in the event of a surprise late frost.
