FAQs

Please read our FAQs page to find out more.

When can I grow Forget-me-nots in the UK?

Grow Forget-me-nots in spring or late summer, in a position with moist soil and some shelter from strong sun. They are well suited to woodland-style planting.

Where is the best place to grow Forget-me-nots?

Forget-me-nots grow in sun or partial shade, but prefer soil that remains moist. They are ideal beneath shrubs, at the front of borders and around spring bulbs.

Do Forget-me-nots come back every year?

Forget-me-nots are usually short-lived but self-seed readily, so new plants often appear each year. Leave some faded flowers to form seed if you want them to naturalise.

Why have my Forget-me-nots not appeared?

Young plants can struggle in dry soil or deep shade. Keep the area moist while they establish and avoid disturbing the soil where self-seeded plants may be growing.

Should I remove Forget-me-nots after flowering?

Pull up unwanted plants after flowering before they set seed. Leave selected plants to seed if you want a continuing display next spring.
