Forget-Me-Not flower seeds can be started indoors or directly outdoors. If started indoors, we recommend sowing in peat pots, 6 to 8 weeks prior to the last frost. Sow the seeds directly to the surface of the soil, in groups of 3 or 4 per pot. Do not cover the seeds with topsoil, since they will require a bit of direct light to properly germinate. Transplant entire pots, or direct sow outdoors when the weather is warm and all danger of frost has passed.

Forget-Me-Not flowers are grown in areas that will receive partial shade for the majority of the day. They can thrive in full sunlight as well, however temperatures should be below 80F. Make sure that the soil is fertile and rich in organic matter. You will also want to provide them with a well draining medium. To increase your drainage, we recommend adding a light compost to any areas that consist of hard, compact soil. Water the seeds daily with a mist setting or spray bottle so that they remain moist until germination occurs.

Forget-Me-Not seeds usually begin to germinate within roughly 7 to 14 days after sowing. The plants reach a mature height of roughly 8 to 18 inches tall, spanning 6 to 8 inches wide. The plants themselves can be spaced roughly 10 inches apart from one another. Forget-Me-Not flowers are an excellent selection for use as a groundcover and can be added to floral arrangements & bouquets as well. They will also attract an array of beneficial insects to the garden, such as bumblebees, honeybees, hummingbirds, butterflies & more.

Lavender seeds are best started indoors, 6 to 8 weeks prior to the last killing frost. Start in peat pots, sowing 3 to 5 seeds per pot, at a shallow depth of 1/16” under topsoil. The seeds will require a bit of direct light to properly germinate, so try not to bury them deeper than the recommended depth. Transplant small pots into larger containers if necessary, or transplant directly into the garden, when the weather is warm and all danger of frost has passed.

Lavender herbs will require an area of full sunlight for the majority of the day. Temperatures of at least 70F are recommended. A light soil that contains a small amount of gravel will best suit your Lavender plants, as they will need a well draining medium. They are fond of slightly acidic to slightly alkaline soils, with a pH of 6.5 to 8.0. Water the seeds daily with a spray bottle or mist setting, until germination has successfully occurred.

Lavender seeds will typically germinate within 7 to 21 days after sowing. This strain will produce 30 inch plants, forming a compact, bush like growth habit. The plants can be spaced about 12 to 18 inches apart from one another. Harvest the purple flowers for use as a garnish, and use the oils for all sorts of flavoring and perfumes.
