How to Germinate Forget-Me-Not Woodland

How to Germinate Forget-Me-Not Woodland (Myosotis sylvatica)

  • Sow Forget-Me-Not Woodland seeds directly outdoors in early spring or late summer for the best results.
  • Choose a location with partial shade and moist, well-draining soil enriched with organic matter.
  • Sprinkle seeds on the soil surface and press them down gently; do not cover them with soil, as they need light to germinate.
  • Keep the soil consistently moist during the germination period, which usually 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-Not Woodland thrives in partial shade but can tolerate full sun if the soil is kept moist.
  • Water regularly, especially during dry spells, to maintain the moist soil conditions that Forget-Me-Nots prefer.
  • Apply a layer of mulch around the plants to help retain soil moisture and suppress weeds.
  • Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming and maintain a neat 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.
