How to Germinate Chinese Forget-Me-Not

How to Germinate Chinese Forget-Me-Not (Cynoglossum amabile)

  • Sow Chinese Forget-Me-Not seeds directly outdoors in early spring or fall, as they prefer cooler temperatures for germination.
  • Choose a sunny location with well-draining soil for optimal growth.
  • Scatter seeds on the soil surface and press them gently; do not cover them with soil, as they need light to germinate.
  • Water lightly to keep the soil consistently moist during the germination period, which typically takes 10-14 days.
  • Thin seedlings to about 6-12 inches apart once they have grown a few inches tall to promote healthy growth.
  • If starting seeds indoors, plant them 6-8 weeks before the last frost and transplant them outdoors once the soil has warmed.

Additional Tips

  • Chinese Forget-Me-Not prefers full sun but can tolerate partial shade, especially in hotter climates.
  • Water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist, but avoid overwatering, as this plant prefers drier conditions once established.
  • Apply a thin layer of mulch to retain moisture and prevent weed growth around the plants.
  • Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming throughout the season.
  • Leave some flowers to go to seed at the end of the season if you want them to self-sow and return the following year.
