How to Grow:
Alpine forget-me-nots are among the easiest flowers to grow. Simply scatter the seeds on the surface of the soil between June and late August. Rain will take care of pushing them to the ideal depth. The seeds germinate in 8 to 15 days, overwinter, and then flower the following spring. These plants thrive in slightly moist soils and partial shade.
Cold hardy to zone 3, these bushy-growing biennials bloom in spring and reseed naturally to return each year with minimal maintenance.
