WHEN TO PLANT FORGET ME NOT SEEDS: You can plant after the threat of frost, but for best results, sow in mid-Summer.2. WHERE TO PLANT FORGET ME NOT SEEDS: Forget-me-nots prefer shaded conditions, but can do well in the sun. Choose locations where the soil has been well-worked, and has excellent drainage. Amend soil with plenty of organic matter.3. HOW TO PLANT FORGET ME NOT SEEDS: Water your bed until the soil is moist, then lightly rake. Scatter seeds by hand onto the bed's surface. Be sure not to water after the deeds have been sown. Cover your seeds with cardboard to block out light and help retain moisture. Wait a few days before lifting the cardboard, then mist the planting area with a nozzle bottle. When soil temperatures are warm, Forget-me-nots will germinate in just a few days.4. HOW TO CARE FOR FORGET ME NOTS: Forget-me-nots enjoy plenty of moisture, but not saturated soil. The plants need to experience a chilling period before being able to produce flowers, which will likely be after their first year. After flowering, the entire plant will die back. If you want plants to return, allow the dead growth to remain until the Fall, so it can naturally reseed.

What Are Forget-Me-Nots?Forget-me-nots are small, clustering flowers in the Boraginaceae family. Forget-me-nots are most often sky blue with yellow centers, though many varieties have pink or white flowers. Most varieties of forget-me-nots are perennials, returning and spreading each year.The most popular forget-me-not varieties include early, true, water, and woodland. Bright blue forget-me-nots are commonly associated with remembrance in many countries. In the United States, they are used as a symbol to remember injured veterans.The woodland forget-me-not (Myosotis sylvatica) is the most common species of forget-me-not to see in home gardens because it prefers standard soil. They bloom in mid to late spring. Woodland forget-me-nots are cold-tolerant and thrive in USDA Hardiness Zones 3 to 8How to Plant Forget-Me-NotsFor the best results, start forget-me-not seeds indoors or transplant mature plants directly into your garden:1. Sow seeds in containers. The most common method for starting forget-me-nots is to start the seeds indoors in early spring, up to 10 weeks before the last frost. (Alternatively, you can direct sow your forget-me-not seeds into the garden after the danger of frost has passed in early summer, but the plants won’t bloom until the following season.) To sow your seeds, choose a pot or seed tray with drainage holes and fill it with well-draining seed starter soil. Sprinkle two to three seeds every inch across the soil surface. Press the surface down to ensure the seeds are in contact with the soil.2. Keep moist until germination. Keep the soil evenly moist as the seeds sprout and grow roots.3. Harden off your seedlings. Once your seedlings have two sets of true leaves, it’s time to harden off your seedlings, a process in which indoor seedlings are gradually exposed to outdoor conditions so that they don’t go into shock. Begin this process about 10–14 days before your transplant date by placing your seedlings in an outdoor spot protected from wind and sun for an hour a day. Every day, extend your seedlings' time spent outside by another hour and gradually expose them to more and more sunlight.4. Choose and prepare the soil bed. Once your seedlings are ready for the outdoors, select a planting site for them. If your area gets mild summers and cold winters, a full-sun location is usually best; if your area gets hot summers and mild winters, opt for a spot that gets partial shade in the afternoon. If you’re planting woodland forget-me-nots, standard garden soil will work best; if you’re planting true forget-me-nots, choose a spot that gets the most water, or even consider growing them along a garden pond or irrigation ditch. All forget-me-nots can handle poor, infertile soil, but use soil rich in organic matter for best results.5. Transplant. After preparing your planting site, transplant your seedlings into your garden. (Alternatively, you can purchase mature plants at a garden center and skip to this step.) Dig holes four to six inches apart, making each hole just larger than the root balls of your plants. Ease each plant out of the container, loosen its root ball, place it in a hole, then fill the hole in with more soil. If you transplant your seedlings in spring, you’re most likely to see blooms that same season; if you choose to transplant your seedlings in summer or early fall, your forget-me-nots won’t bloom until the following season.6. Water immediately. Once your plants are in the ground, water the soil around them to settle the soil and help establish their roots.WE SHIP FAST & FREE!
