One of the all-time world favorites among wildflowers often used at funerals. Forget-me-nots received their name based on the romantic legend: a medieval knight, gathering blue flowers along a stream for his lady love, was suddenly swept away by flood waters. As he disappeared, he tossed the bouquet to his lady with the immortal words, "Forget me not." Forget-me-not is low-growing and makes a nice ground cover plant as well as edging for the front of the border or even in containers. To encourage reseeding, leave spent flowers on the plant well until after they have faded. The Forget Me Not flower seeds will drop and produce more ground cover plants the next spring. *** HOW TO GROW: *** **SOIL Temperature for Germination: 70F **Plant Spacing: 9-12 inches. **Hardiness: Zones 3-9. **Sun Requirement: Full Sun / Partial Shade. **Days to Germination: 10-21 days. **Germination Rate: 85%.

Seeds can be started either indoors or directly outside in a prepared seedbed. Indoors, in the late winter, sow Forget-Me-Not seeds in starter flats, and press the flower seeds into the soil and lightly cover with 1/16" soil. For directly sowing outdoors, prepare a seedbed by loosening the top several inches of soil and weeding.

Keep soil moderately moist, though not overly, dripping wet. Water soil when the soil surface just begins to dry. Forget Me Not prefers full sun and dry to well-drained soil.
Water the plants carefully to avoid getting the foliage wet; excess moisture on the leaves can cause disease. Forget Me Not can grow well in cold climates, as well as tolerating heat and drought. These flowers attract bees and butterflies. Soil Type: Moist, pH 6.1 - 7.8.
