Chinese Forget-Me-Not

£0.79 incl. VAT

Chinese forget-me-not, also called hound’s tongue, is of special value for the clear, sky-blue color of the flowers. They bloom all summer, and are especially good in cool climates. The Chinese in its common name comes from its origin in Asia, although it also resembles the true Forget-Me-Not (Myosotis). “Hound’s tongue” refers to its leaves, which have a furry surface and are shaped like a dog’s tongue.

Useful Information

Sowing & Growing

Sow outdoors as early as the ground can be worked. For best colour during cool weather, sow seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks prior to transplanting outside. Germination takes 5 to 14 days at 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Plants will reseed profusely if not kept in check. Seeds stick tightly to clothes and animals that carry them far from the planned location.

Grow in full sun or partial shade in a rich, well-drained soil, high in organic matter. Except in regions with cool summers, they are more successful in full sun if the soil is kept evenly moist, but not soggy. Feed lightly or mix a slow-release fertilizer into the soil before planting. They may be planted outdoors in spring as soon as the soil is workable. Space 8 to 12 inches apart.
