Sow seeds directly outdoors after the last frost, or start indoors in early April. Press seeds into soil without covering. Germination occurs in 5 to 10 days at 70°F (20°C). Once germinated, grow seedlings under a light, then harden them off before transplanting outdoors in late May, spacing each seedling 4 inches (10 cm) apart.
Forget-me-not prefers well-drained soil. It grows well in sunny areas of cool climates, but enjoys partial shade (4 to 6 hours of sun) in areas with hot summers. After the first bloom, lightly pruning the plants will encourage a second bloom.
