Resembling the old-fashioned Forget-me-

not, Chinese forget-me-nots are compact

bushes that produce clusters of tiny,

funnel-shaped blue flowers. They are a

perfect choice for cut flowers and flower

arrangements because of their long and

tough stems. Chinese forget-me-nots may

have delicate-looking blooms, but they

are cold-hardy spring flowers and are even

suitable for cooler climates with heavy frosts.

They are a biennial species but can be grown

as annual as they tend to bloom during their

first year.

Chinese forget-me-not seeds are best started indoors, 6 to 8 weeks before the last expected frost of spring. Using a seed starting tray, sow 3 to 5 seeds per cell at 1⁄4 inch deep. Keep the soil moist with a temperature anywhere between 64°F and 70°F, and place the tray in a warm place. Sprouts should appear within 7 to 10 days.

When seedlings are about 2 to 3 inches tall and there is no more risk of frost in your area, you can start transplanting them outside. Before transplanting, thin the seedlings, leaving only the strongest ones. Plant the seedlings 8 to 12 inches apart in moderately fertile, well-draining soil. Water thoroughly after transplanting.

You can also sow the seeds directly outdoors in spring, just before the last expected frost in your area. Just scatter your wildflower seeds over the soil by hand. Water the soil thoroughly after planting. Sprouts should start to appear within 7 to 10 days. When 2 to 3 inches tall, thin if too crowded. For areas with mild winters, Chinese forget-me-not seeds are best planted during fall.
