The orbits of the Earth and Mercury are not in synchrony and so there is not a particular time of the year when Mercury can be seen. Obviously, it will not be visible when it is behind the Sun. Also, it will not be visible when it is between the Sun and the Earth because the light from the Sun will obscure it. When Mercury and the Earth form nearly a right angle, with the Sun at the vertex, then Mercury will be visible at around sunrise or sunset - depending on which side of the sun it is.
