Common Questions
How long does it take for Chinese forget-me-not to bloom from seed?
Chinese forget-me-not seeds planted in late winter can bloom as early as late spring. Expect to see blooms within three months after planting.
Is Chinese forget-me-not a perennial?
No, this plant is grown as an annual or a biennial depending on where it is grown. In warmer climates, it is planted as a biennial (last 2 years). In cold regions, plants may not survive winter, but they readily reseed and new plants will grow the following year.
How to I encourage longer bloom season with my Chinese forget-me-nots?
Deadhead your spent blooms to extend the growing season and keep plants from reseeding themselves. You can cut your flowers earlier and use in bouquets and floral arrangements.
Is Chinese forget-me-not frost tolerant?
Chinese forget-me-not is considered a cool-weather plant that should be seeded three to four weeks before the last frost in spring. However, plants typically die back after the first frost in fall.
Why are my plants wilting?
Most likely your plants need more water especially if your weather has been hot and dry. Water your plants deeply every few days if you don’t have any rain. With extreme heat, you may need to water every other day or every day.

Chinese Forget-Me-Not (Cynoglossum Amabile Mystic Pink) - Don't forget to start these Chinese Forget-Me-Not seeds and watch them grow quickly and bloom heavily! This Cynoglossum Amabile Mystic Pink Forget Me Not produces a profusion of attractive soft pink flowers and grey-green foliage on stiff, upright stems. Chinese Forget Me Nots are reliable annuals that reach about 12 inches or more and are perfect in the wild flower garden or cottage garden setting. Cynoglossum Mystic Pink offers a cherry little patch of pink blooms, and it will reliably self-sow, dropping its own flower seeds on bare ground for next year's display. Sow both the pink and blue varieties of Forget-Me-Not seeds to give a charming display of early color!
Cynoglossum Amabile seeds germinate best if they are evenly spread into loosened bare ground and kept moist. Plant Chinese Forget Me Not seeds in fall where winters are mild (seldom dipping below 10 degrees) or sow the flower seeds in early spring in colder climates after frost season has passed and night time temperatures are starting to stay warm. Cover the flower seeds lightly with a quarter inch or less of good, quality of soil, and keep the wild flower seeds moist. Deadhead spent blooms to prolong flowering, but allow some to mature for self-sowing. Do not over fertilize Chinese Forget-Me-Not plants because this will lead to excessive foliage at the expense of pink blossoms.
