forget-me-not

A nostalgic, spring garden classic that forms dense mounds of fuzzy, green, “mouse-ear” foliage topped in clouds of petite, baby blue, white or pink flowers with yellow to white centers. Early blooming, combines nicely in containers or the garden with other spring bloomers and bulbs.

Plant in well-drained, nutrient rich soil amended with organic matter like Petitti Planting Mix. Water well after planting; maintain 1” of water, once a week the first year. Use Plant-tone and Iron-tone in spring or at planting; apply Osmocote in summer. Mulch 1-2” to suppress weeds and retain soil moisture. Divide in late summer when necessary. May self-seed.
