Growing Instructions
Chinese Forget-Me-Not seeds may be started in pots in the spring, or directly sown into the ground. Most available seed starting soils should do the job nicely; we use Sunshine Mix (peat moss and perlite). The soil should be made moist, but not damp. Sow the seeds 1/8 to 1/4 inch deep. Store in a bright area until tiny sprouts emerge from the soil. Once germinated, and the first true leaf has formed, it's time to pot up to a larger container that contains a good quality potting soil. Transplant to their final location when the nighttime temperatures are consistently 6°C or higher. The plants don't require very much attention once established other than a good mulching and a bi-weekly watering.
