Delicate flowers have a deep, clear, indigo blue cluster at the top of very erect stems, a nice contrast with the dark green leaves it has. This wild flower seed will grow quickly, bloom heavily, and then die with frost. 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 in early spring in colder climates after frost season has past 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. Allow flower heads to ripen on the plant if you would like them to reseed themselves. This means they will drop their wildflower seed after blooming and that seed which was dropped on the ground will germinate (depending on mother nature it may be the following spring). If you don't want any more Chinese forget me nots, then trim off the spent blooms before the flowers drop their wild flower seed. Cut back to the ground or tear out in the fall.
