INTRODUCING FORGET ME NOT SEEDS

Chinese Forget Me Not (Cynoglossum amabile) should not be confused with the invasive Myosotis sylvatica. It is a perfect choice for USDA hardiness zones 3 to 9. Typically reaching heights of 2 feet, these flowers spread out, forming a dense mat of foliage. Forget Me Nots are recognized for their clusters of five-petaled flowers that create a stunning display in any garden setting.

PLANTING FORGET ME NOT SEEDS

Sow the seeds directly outside, as soon as soil is workable. Alternatively, they can be started inside 3 to 4 weeks ahead of time, and transplanted after the last frost dates. Completely cover seeds with soil. Darkness is needed for the seeds to germinate. Transplant or thin out the Forget Me Not seedlings in a sunny location. Make sure they are about 10 inches apart, as they will spread out when the plant grows.

MAINTAINING FORGET ME NOT PLANTS

Forget Me Nots will need regular watering. Other than that, they are very easy to maintain. The soil should be consistently moist. To encourage more blooms, remove spent flowers from the plant. This will also stop the self-seeding process. You may save the seeds when seed heads turn brown. Collect them in a bag and dry them for a couple of weeks. Then, remove seeds from outer pods. They can be stored in a dark, dry place for up to 3 years.

Every garden needs a little bit of that cottage glamour. With Forget Me Nots, you will have it. They are delicate beauties with charm. Perfect for creating stunning garden borders, or filling wildflower meadows. Enjoy the sentimental value of Forget Me Nots in your garden!

Frequently Asked Questions

What are heirloom seeds?

Heirloom seeds are the types of seeds your grandparents grew. These varieties have been passed down from generation to generation. They’re old reliable open-pollinated varieties that aren’t typically grown commercially. Instead, they have a rich history that predates modern breeding techniques. You can learn more about open-pollinated, heirloom, and non-GMO seeds in our Survival Garden Training blog.

How do I know my seeds are fresh?

Every seed packet includes a "packed for" date, and we germination test each seed lot before packaging to ensure you receive viable, high-quality seeds that are ready to grow.

Are your seeds chemically treated?

No, we do not pre-treat our seeds. All of our garden seeds are untreated, open-pollinated, non-GMO, and heirloom varieties. They are kept in temperature-controlled cooler storage until they are packed and shipped to keep them pest and disease-free.

Will your seeds grow in my USDA Hardiness zone?

The seeds in our collections are specifically chosen from varieties that can be successfully grown from Zone 3 to Zone 10 USDA Hardiness Zones. However, individual varieties have specific needs to thrive in different environments. Each seed pack has optimal temperatures for germination and instructions on seed starting. Consult local frost dates to plan your garden and get the most out of your seeds.

What is the shelf life of these garden seeds?

Most seeds remain viable for 3 to 5 years or longer when stored properly. Check your seed packet for specific varieties. For best results, keep your seeds in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Store them in an airtight container in a consistent temperature environment—a refrigerator or cool basement works well. Proper storage helps maintain germination rates and extends seed life well beyond the packed date.

Where are Survival Garden Seeds sourced?

The majority of our seeds are sourced in the United States, with a few exceptions when the seed is difficult to source domestically. Whenever we do have to source outside of the US, we ensure our seeds are safe to grow, non-GMO, heirloom varieties that meet our standards for germination and reliability.
