The first chance to plant anagallis in Bridgeport should be figured out by using the USDA zone info.

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.

Since anagallis are barely cold tolerant you can plant them a bit earlier in the year than more sensitive plants.

The earliest that you can plant anagallis in Bridgeport 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. Any later than that and your anagallis may not have a chance to grow to maturity. You can get started a little bit earlier by starting your anagallis indoors.

Remember that the actual date of last frost is just an average because it is based on the USDA zone info for Bridgeport and it will vary from year to year. Half of the time in Bridgeport last frost occurs after April 15 so always be ready to cover your anagallis if you have a late frost.
