Planting Instructions
How to Plant Blue Forget Me Nots
When to Plant Forget Me Not Seeds
You can plant after the threat of frost, but for best results, sow in mid-Summer.
Where to Plant Forget Me Not Seeds
Forget-me-nots prefer shaded conditions, but can do well in the sun. Choose locations where the soil has been well-worked, and has excellent drainage. Amend soil with plenty of organic matter.
How to Plant Forget Me Not Seeds
Water your bed until the soil is moist, then lightly rake. Scatter seeds by hand onto the bed's surface. Be sure not to water after the deeds have been sown. Cover your seeds with cardboard to block out light and help retain moisture. Wait a few days before lifting the cardboard, then mist the planting area with a nozzle bottle. When soil temperatures are warm, Forget-me-nots will germinate in just a few days.
How to Care for Forget Me Nots
Forget-me-nots enjoy plenty of moisture, but not saturated soil. The plants need to experience a chilling period before being able to produce flowers, which will likely be after their first year. After flowering, the entire plant will die back. If you want plants to return, allow the dead growth to remain until the Fall, so it can naturally reseed.

Great customer service and help. :)
These flowers say it all...Forget me Nots. We purchased these along with Shasta Daiseys for those are our beautiful baby granddaughters birth month flowers. We purchased flowers to pass out at Izzys Celebration of Life. For
She was just 15 months old and she touched and changed so many life's. For her story type: Sweet Izabelle Prayers.
We needed the flower seed packets ASAP and Eden Brothers customer service and wonderful staff helped us figure out the best possible way to send them out, and they put a rush on the order. The seeds came when they said they would, we are so grateful to them as it was our daughter in laws and sons wish to have these seeds to pass out in memory of Sweet Izzy.
Thank you Eden Brothers for making this happen., can't wait to plant them on her birth month of April...
