The USDA zone info for Zone 12a should be looked at to estimate when it's the best time to plant anagallis.

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 tend to make it in very little cold which tells us that you can plant them just a tiny bit earlier in the year than other plants that might not handle the cold.

The earliest that you can plant anagallis in Zone 12a is January. However, you really should wait until February if you don't want to take any chances.

The last month that you can plant anagallis and expect a good harvest is probably November. You probably don't want to wait any later than that or else your anagallis may not have a chance to grow to maturity. Starting your anagallis indoors is a great way to get them started a couple of weeks earlier.
