Key benefits

  • Deep indigo-blue spring flowers to weave through tulips
  • Self-seeds gently, so the display returns each year
  • Early flowers feed bees when little else is open
  • Grows about 40 cm tall for borders, window boxes and pots
  • Packet of about 150 seeds with growing instructions

Indigo Blue is a forget-me-not with flowers a shade deeper than the usual sky blue, made for weaving through tulips and carpeting the ground beneath shrubs in spring. Sprays of tiny five-petalled flowers sit above soft, grey-green leaves, and the plants self-seed gently so the display returns year after year with little help. Myosotis alpestris 'Indigo Blue' grows to about 40 cm in flower, which suits the front of a border, window boxes, spring containers and woodland edges, and its early flowers feed bees when little else is open.

Sowing and growing

  • Sow May to July, outdoors in a seedbed or in trays, for flowers the following spring.
  • Sow thinly and cover very lightly, about 3 mm deep.
  • Germination takes 10 to 21 days.
  • Sun or partial shade, in moist, reasonably fertile soil; move young plants to their flowering spot in early autumn.
  • Grows to about 40 cm tall and 20 cm wide.
  • Flowers April to June.
  • Hardy biennial: it flowers in its second year, then sets seed and often sows itself.

What you receive: a packet of about 150 seeds from Piccolo Seeds, with growing instructions on the back.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I sow forget-me-not seeds?

Sow from May to July. Seedlings grow on through summer, are planted out in early autumn and flower the following spring. Seed sown in spring will not usually flower until the next year.

Do forget-me-nots come back every year?

Individual plants usually flower once and then die, but they drop plenty of seed, so new plants appear each year. Pull out spent plants after flowering, shaking them over the bed first if you want seedlings in the same spot.

Will forget-me-nots grow in shade?

They are happy in partial or dappled shade, such as under deciduous shrubs or along a woodland edge, as well as in sun. Moist soil suits them best. Deep shade gives fewer flowers.

What is your returns policy?
