When to sow forget-me-not seeds - the perfect time for planting in the ground or in containers

Small blue forget me nots.

Forget-me-nots may be small, but they are mighty. A popular spring flower, they can brighten up any garden border, window box, or plant pot with their blue hues. But knowing when to sow forget-me-not seeds is key.

Stunning as standalone flowers or as a space-filler between bigger and more vibrant plants, forget-me-nots can help you bring any garden idea to life. In fact, they’re even key players in the erotic garden trend! But while these flowers are fairly winter-hardy and will generally survive the cold snap, to successfully sow forget-me-not seeds, you need the perfect temperature - and that can only be found at a specific time of the year.
