Forget-me-not Seeds — Myosotis alpestris Blue

A Carpet of Sky-Blue for the Spring Garden

Few plants capture the magic of a spring cottage garden quite like the forget-me-not. Myosotis alpestris Blue is the classic alpine forget-me-not — smothered in masses of tiny, bright sky-blue flowers with a cheerful yellow eye, forming a soft, billowing carpet of colour from late winter through spring. Whether drifting beneath roses, weaving between tulips, or filling a shady border, forget-me-nots bring an effortless, romantic charm that is impossible to resist.

Why Gardeners Love It

• 💙 Brilliant sky-blue flowers — masses of tiny blooms with a bright yellow centre, a true cottage garden classic

• 🐝 Excellent pollinator plant — an early nectar source for bees and butterflies emerging in spring
• 🌿 Easy to grow — sow and largely forget, they do the rest themselves
• 🏡 Self-seeds freely — once established, forget-me-nots return reliably year after year

Growing Tips for New Zealand

Sow forget-me-not seeds in late summer or autumn for a spectacular spring display. Scatter seeds directly onto prepared soil or start in trays and transplant. They prefer a cool growing period and will flower prolifically from late winter through spring in most NZ regions. Forget-me-nots thrive in sun or partial shade and prefer moist, well-drained soil. After flowering, allow some plants to set seed before removing — they will self-sow and return the following spring. A true low-maintenance garden treasure.
