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.

In Zone 12a you can determine when it's a good idea to plant myosotis by checking out the USDA zone info.

Planting Calendar for Myosotis

When to plant:	Up to 5 weeks before last frost.

Myosotis are moderately cold tolerant which tells us that you can plant them earlier than other frost tender plants.

The earliest that you can plant myosotis 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 myosotis and expect a good harvest is probably November. 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.
