🌱 Beginner Friendly
Forget-me-nots thrive in cool, partly shaded spots with consistently moist soil, making them ideal for woodland gardens and border edges. Water regularly during dry spells and deadhead spent flowers to extend the blooming season. They self-seed freely, so allow some flowers to set seed for a reliable display year after year.
