Forget-Me-Nots
Comments (6)I have myosotis palustris 'Semperflorens'. That's the perennial f-m-n. Mine bloom from mid spring thru Sept. in flushes. I trim the flower stems back when they're done so they bloom again. This will be their 5th yr. Last year they really started to spread. I've read other posts where the annuals reseed very easily on their own. Some perennial plants do take a year before they bloom. I wouldn't give up on them yet. I don't know about the annual ones, but the perennial ones don't like to dry out. Mine get full morning sun, but I'm in the northern part of the country, so by you they may do well with just a few hours of morning sun. I also mulch mine so they don't dry out fast. I hope you get lots of beautiful blue flowers this spring! Enjoy!! Kat...See MoreForget me nots,... can I cut back to get more blooms?
Comments (2)I found the seed pack and the name is 'firmament' heirloom variety. Sorry I don't know the other names. I did get them in the ground a little late this year. On the pack it says to pick the old blooms to encourage side branching but doesn't say if they'll bloom. Are the sprouts you're getting the result of dropping to the ground? thank you...

Comments (7)Lots of seeds to harvest on that forget-me-not, which as ken says is done for the season. Cut it back - it'll shortly turn into a really dark, crispy, dead looking thing - but scatter the cuttings wherever you might want them to sprout. Very welcome plant in my gardens - I have them everywhere and they're just picking up real steam here now. Easy to pull up if they land somewhere inconvenient....See MoreForget-me-nots or myosotis sylvatica browning out?
Comments (4)a true biennial ... those that bloomed profusely this spring.. were in their second year.. and are dying .... they ARE USUALLY LEFT TO SEED... AND AS NOTED... YOUR BABES should be appearing.... if you want them in a new spot.. cut all the uglies off.. tie them in a bundle.. and put the bundle where you want them.. with a stick holding them there... and next spring you will see the bundle.. and a bunch of new plants ... good luck ken...See Moreoakiris
