Early forget-me-not thrives in cool, partly shaded spots with consistently moist soil, making it ideal for woodland-style borders or cottage gardens. Water regularly during dry spells but avoid waterlogging, as this small annual dislikes soggy roots. It self-seeds freely, so allow spent flowers to drop seed for a returning display each year.
