Forget-me-not
In late summer or early fall, after planting a bed of bulbs, cast about a generous supply of forget-me-not seeds. You will be rewarded in spring with a beautiful blue haze as the perfect backdrop for
daffodils and tulips, one that will keep the bed colorful well into early summer.
Forget-me-nots reseed abundantly to perform year after year. Its tiny blue, pink, or white flowers bloom generously on delicate. multibranched stems 6 to 12 inches tall.
Forget-me-nots prefer fertile, moist, well-drained soil that is rich in organic matter, and perform well in wet soil. They prefer light shade, but will tolerate full sun. Water and feed them liberally. They do best in regions with long, cool springs. Elsewhere, spring crops will set seeds and die out. Then, after late-summer rains, a second crop will come up to give you fall color.
