Forget Me Not Seed

Approx. 190 seeds per packet
 
Cynoglossum amabile. Simple, tiny, indigo blue flowers are massed in clusters on well behaved, bushy plants. Direct sow Chinese Forget-Me-Nots Cynoglossum amabile seeds in the fall or early spring, and the fast growing plants will put on a show very early in the season, blooming from April to June. Cut the seed heads after flowering is finished, or this plant will self sow enthusiastically. It's okay if this happens, as the spring show is so welcome, and afterwards the plants die back and are hardly noticeable. This variety resists mildew well and grows to 45cm (18") tall. It works well in containers and window boxes and will bloom even in partial shade.
Annual
 
Timing
Direct sow in early spring when a light frost is still possible. Otherwise start indoors 6-8 weeks before planting out. Direct sow again in autumn. Seeds will sprout in 5-10 days, particularly if maintained at their optimal soil temperature of 18-24°C (65-75°F).
Starting
Sow seeds shallowly at 5mm (¼”) deep, and thin or space to 20-30cm (8-12″) apart. If starting indoors, keep seeds in total darkness until they sprout, and then provide bright light.
