50+ Forget Me Not Victoria Series ‘Indigo Blue’ Seeds

Description: Easily grown in organically rich, consistently moist, well-drained soils in full sun to part shade. Plants appreciate part afternoon shade in hot summer climates. Although technically a short-lived perennial, this plant is often grown as a biennial by planting seed in the ground in mid-summer for bloom the following year. It is also often grown as an annual by starting seed indoors about 8-10 weeks before last spring frost date for bloom the same year. Regardless of method, plants will persist in the garden for many years by freely and sometimes aggressively self-seeding. In formal garden areas (e.g., border fronts) where naturalization is not desired, some gardeners remove some flower cymes immediately after bloom to minimize self-seeding. Height and width: 6 to 18 inches (15-45cm) tall; 8 to 12 inches (20-30cm) wide Foliage: Leaves are dark green, narrow, and lance-shaped Flowers: Dainty blue flowers with yellow eyes Bloom time: Mid-spring to autumn; winter in mild-winter regions Uses: Woodland gardens, shady location Sowing Instructions: Germination is best at about 50-70°F (10-15C) and can take 3 to 5 weeks. Keep media moderately moist; do not bury the seeds too deeply; simply lightly press into the soil. Divide crowded plants when new growth begins in early to mid-spring. Take cuttings of side shoots and root them in moist soil in late spring or in summer. They will root in a glass of water also.
