Growing Tips: Plant in a sunny spot. Work lots of compost and organic fertilizer into the planting hole and water well before planting. Put root ball into the hole and bury it up to the first set of leaves. Water deeply once a week.
Landscape: In the landscape, they add a little whimsy wherever they’re planted. These do not like pots. They re-seed easily so expect them to return if left standing.The seeds are like little burrs that will stick to everything…hence the name ‘forget-me-not’…they’re there forever!
Cutting Garden: Plant them closer together (6-8”) in rows to promote long stems as they stretch for the light. Use plant support netting. Harvest weekly to keep them producing. Water deeply the day before harvest.
Harvesting: Cut your first stem when the bottom 50% of the spray has opened. Cut the central stem first, leaving 6-8 sets of leaves remaining on the plant below the cut. Nice long stems will emerge from this deep cut. Strip off excess foliage, cut the bottom of the stem on an angle. Let them rest for a few hours in cool water and shade before arranging. Ensure you use a container that supports the stems and keeps them straight as they rest and re-hydrate after harvest. If left to droop they won’t recover. These flowers are a little wimpy, so using a hydrator solution can be helpful.
Drying: Not recommended.
