How do you keep Forget-Me-Nots blooming?
Forget-me-nots do well in shade, but full sun is fine. Water your potted forget-me-nots often enough that the soil stays moist but not soggy, slightly less during the winter. Pinch off dead flowers after they are spent to encourage new blooms.
How long does it take for Forget-Me-Not flowers to bloom?
Check the growing media regularly for moisture content. Germination usually occurs after about 10 to 14 days. After that, it takes about a year for forget-me-nots to grow to maturity and be able to flower.
Will Forget-Me-Nots rebloom?
Myosotis sylvatica, or forget-me-not flowers, are perennial, and rebloom year after year on the same root system. The plants grow less than 1 foot tall, with small blue flowers.
Do Forget-Me-Nots flower every year?
Growing forget-me-not from seed
Once seedlings are large enough to handle, prick out and pot on. Flowers will appear the following year.
Can Forget-Me-Nots be grown in pots?
Place indoor forget-me-nots in containers filled with fresh potting mix. Be sure the pot has a hole in the bottom, as the plants will rot without adequate drainage. One plant per container is best for growing forget-me-nots inside, as the plants need plenty of air circulation.
What do Forget-Me-Nots symbolize?
Historically, these flowers symbolize remembrance (not much of a surprise there)―not only associated with love, but for those we've lost. Forget-me-nots also symbolize protection and luck, and it's believed that they have the power to protect humans against witches.
