How to Germinate Baby Blue Eyes

How to Germinate Baby Blue Eyes (Nemophila menziesii)

  • Sow seeds directly outdoors in early spring or fall, as they prefer cooler temperatures for germination.
  • Sprinkle seeds on the soil surface and press them lightly; do not cover, as they need light to germinate.
  • Space seeds about 6 inches apart to allow for mature plant growth.
  • Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged until seeds germinate, usually within 7-10 days.
  • Choose a location with partial shade to full sun for best results, especially in areas with hot summers.
  • Thin seedlings if they become overcrowded to ensure healthy, vigorous plants.

Additional Tips

  • Baby Blue Eyes thrive in well-draining, slightly sandy soil with moderate fertility.
  • Water regularly, especially during dry periods, to keep the soil moist and support continuous blooming.
  • Apply a layer of mulch around the plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
  • Deadhead spent flowers to encourage additional blooms throughout the growing season.
  • Reseed in late summer or early fall for a secondary blooming period in regions with mild winters.
