How to grow
Start seeds 6 to 8 weeks before your last frost date. Place in a warm area to germinate. Plant outd
oors once chances of frost have passed. Forget-me-nots can tolerate some cool weather. Once flowers fade, deadhead and plants will re-bloom late summer to early fall.
How to harvest
Use the 'wiggle test' by grabbing a stem a few inches below the flowers and wiggle the stem. If the stem bends and flops it is not ready. The stem should be firm and say upright.
