Description

This species, not a true forget-me-not, has very similar flowers to the real thing (See perennial, Myosotis sylvatica.) Since this one is so much less expensive than the pricey Myosotis, it is often substituted in the seed trade.

Comments about American Meadows Chinese Forget Me Not Seeds:

This is included in the wildflower mix. It is beautiful, but not worth keeping! Burrs are small and get tangled in cat and dog hair and on pant legs. I weeded it out of my garden, but it keeps coming back. I wish I had never introduced it!!!!

Comments about American Meadows Chinese Forget Me Not Seeds:

I had planted these in a garden with a blue theme....every species in there flowers blue.
These came up but looked starved.....tried the proper flower food but they just didn't do well.
Reseeded & am awaiting them again.

Comments about American Meadows Chinese Forget Me Not Seeds:

This blue flowering plant can be grown easily from scattered seed. It grows well under roses, particularly the red knockouts. Flowering from April to September, this is a reliable annual that can reseed. The light blue clusters of flowers complete a companion setting with ferns or flowering perennials.
