How do you sow forget-me-nots outdoors?
For garden forget-me-nots grown as biennials, sowing in late spring or summer generally produces plants that flower the following spring. Check the sowing period on the packet, as it depends on species and variety. Prepare a small weed-free area with finely crumbled, moist soil.
Sow thinly and cover lightly according to the supplier's instructions, rather than burying every seed 1 cm deep. Water with a fine spray and keep the surface moist during germination. Once seedlings are well developed, thin or transplant them at a spacing suited to the variety, often around 15 to 20 cm for compact forms. This spacing is for plants, not individual seeds. Watch for slugs and avoid intense heat and drying out the seedbed.
