Question

If I scatter forget me not seeds, are they likely to flower this year please? I’ve not grown them before but would like to for sentimental reasons. Thanks in advance.  

Answer 1

When you have forget me knots in your garden you have them forever. They spread and can be a nuisance if you are particular of their position as they self seed everywhere.

@sidwell I have a wildlife style garden that I want to fill all the gaps with. The more they spread the better

@spumescent100 That's great for forget me nots but if you were putting them in a formal garden they would drive you crazy. Good luck.

@sidwell thank you

Answer 2

Mine grow all over quite by accident. They came with a chive plant i was given. The first year i had pulled loads up before they flowered thinking they were weeds :( i didnt scatter any seeds and they are all over in large clumps. I love them so imagine you can just scatter not sure if it will be next year they flower though

Answer 3

I've scattered the seeds and I've grown in pots, I've even bought plants from GC but I cant seem to grow them

Answer 6

They're biennials so you sow them this autumn and they flower in Spring. Then they self seed forever.
