Chinese Forget Me Not Overview
Chinese Forget-Me-Not (Cynoglossum Amabile) - Enjoy the indigo-blue flower clusters on top of very erect stems, offering a nice contrast with the dark green leaves. This wild flower seed will grow quickly and bloom heavily. Chinese Forget-Me-Not will grow in sun or light shade in all regions of North America. This wildflower seed germinates best if it is evenly spread into loosened bare ground and kept moist. Plant in spring or fall.
If you don't want to deal with trying to plant seedlings directly from your local nursery, don't worry it is a snap to start this wildflower from seed. Sow seeds in fall where winters are mild (seldom dipping below 10 degrees) or sow flower seeds in early spring in colder climates after frost season has passed and night time temperatures are starting to stay warm. Cover lightly with a quarter inch or less of good, quality of soil.
Before long you will have a beautiful display of wildflowers. Chinese Forget-Me-Nots are liberal self-sowers. They will drop their own flower seed, and it will germinate and come back the next spring. If self-seeding is not wanted, cut back to the ground or tear out in the fall.
