How to Germinate Forget-Me-Not

How to Germinate Forget-Me-Not (Myosotis palustris scorpioides)

  • Sow Forget-Me-Not seeds directly outdoors in early spring or late summer for best results.
  • Choose a location with partial shade and moist, well-draining soil rich in organic matter.
  • Sprinkle seeds on the soil surface and press them gently; do not cover, 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 6-12 inches apart once they have grown a few inches tall to ensure proper air circulation.
  • If starting seeds indoors, sow them 6-8 weeks before the last frost and transplant them outdoors when the soil has warmed.

Additional Tips

  • Forget-Me-Nots prefer partial shade but can grow in full sun if the soil is kept consistently moist.
  • Water regularly, especially in warmer weather, to maintain moist soil conditions for healthy growth.
  • Apply a layer of mulch around the plants to retain moisture and suppress weed growth.
  • Deadhead spent flowers to promote continuous blooming and maintain a tidy appearance.
  • Allow some flowers to go to seed at the end of the season if you want them to self-sow and return the following year.
