I grew loads of forget me nots from seed last last year. they have done really well and i would like them in the same place next year. when they have finished flowering what should i do to get them again next year? do i have to grow them from self seeded seedlings or will the plant die back and flower next year.

The message
from zozzer contains these words: I grew loads of forget me nots from seed last last year. they have done really well and i would like them in the same place next year. when they have finished flowering what should i do to get them again next year? do i have to grow them from self seeded seedlings or will the plant die back and flower next year. Just pull them up when they've really finished and are looking a bit sad. Then knock any remaining soil off the roots and put them somewhere else you'd like forget-me-nots. You have no need to do anything else - they will come up as predictably as the very best weeds. -- Rusty Open the creaking gate to make a horrid.squeak, then lower the foobar. http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/hi-fi/ |

Do nothing. Once you have grown them you will have them for ever as they seed themselves about. In the Spring you can remove seedlings from anywhere you don't want them or move them elsewhere.

Just do nothing. They'll be everywhere... I'm still trying to eradicate them from the lawn after 4 years. And every pot. And every border. They're a pain, albeit a pretty one (till they get mildew). And that's how they got their name :-)) I just pull up any which are in an inconvenient position, and we won't ever run out of them. Or forget them. Steve |
