For-get-me-not Seeds

Forget-Me-Not is a beloved spring-flowering annual or short-lived perennial treasured for its masses of delicate sky-blue blossoms with bright yellow centers. Blooming in clouds of color above soft green foliage, this charming cottage garden favorite creates a carpet of flowers that signals the arrival of spring. Its graceful appearance, ease of growth, and long association with romance and remembrance have made Forget-Me-Not one of the most cherished flowers in gardens around the world.

Garden Uses:
Forget-Me-Nots are ideal for cottage gardens, woodland gardens, shaded borders, rock gardens, edging, naturalized plantings, and containers. They pair beautifully with spring bulbs such as tulips, daffodils, hyacinths, and crocus, creating classic spring combinations. Their low-growing habit also makes them excellent for filling spaces beneath shrubs and trees where they provide early-season color before summer flowers take center stage.

Growing Information:
Sow seeds outdoors in late summer or early fall for spring blooms, or sow indoors 8-10 weeks before planting time. Seeds germinate in 8-14 days at temperatures of 65-70°F. Plants prefer moist, fertile, well-drained soil and perform best in partial shade, especially in warmer climates. Mature plants typically grow 6-12 inches tall and spread 8-12 inches wide. Once established, Forget-Me-Nots often self-seed gently, creating charming drifts of flowers in suitable garden locations.
