They are literally my favorite little flower. I never had success direct sowing them … and then I moved into a place where they were growing alongside my drive so I transplanted them to my English garden along the winding path and they simply took off!!! I have finally determined to grow some in pots from seed, so wish me luck!!! New subscriber!!! 🌸
Hi Claire, what a lovely story, I love hearing about other people's gardening experiences 😃 I wish you luck and thanks for subscribing!
@@balconiagarden how long does it takes these to sprout from a pot? Liken start showing... mine have been growing for a week and the haven't started showing?
I never had success germinating until I did it in wet paper towel in a baggie. Seeds sprouted in 3 days then I transferred to a larger flat with 1/4 inch soil over top. Now I have enough to fill a huge area , lol !
Great tip Helena, thanks! 😀💚
Fantastic supportive video thanks 😊
Hello, you're very welcome, so glad you enjoyed the video! 😍🤗💕
I love that they remind me of stars, and the cluster on the ground is like a starry sky.
Beautifully said 👏 ❤️
Princess Diana loved this plant
😍
I have a pink variety on my balcony. Sooo cute! Your videos have really helped me to keep my little balcony garden thriving this spring 🥰🌷🌼
Hi Jen, I'm so glad to hear that! Team Balcony Garden 😍😂 The pink ones are so sweet as well, hope you enjoy the flowers 💐😊
What a comprehensive video, Kitty. I don't think there was a facet of Forget Me Nots that you didn't cover! Great video.
Thank you, Neil! I will Forget-Me-Not your nice words 💁🏻♀️
Sweet dainty flowers. A great Victorian look.
Aren't they beautiful? And yes they do have a Victorian vibe didn't realise that 👏🙂
Forget-me-nots are really adorable 👍
They really are 🤩🌸
I love your voice and accent it is very soft and calming. Recently bought seeds to plant forget-me-nots cause they are my favorite flower, this guide was very helpful given most the flowers I’ve planted do better in warmer environments. I can’t wait for them to sprout!
Thank you for your lovely comment 😊 I hope you get a gorgeous display! 🌸
Kitty, I received my first package of this beautiful flower and am ready to plant my pot. I can hardly wait. Thank you for your information.
Hi Shirley, you're welcome and glad you get to enjoy your lovely forget-me-nots :)
Thank you for this informative video! Just the info I was looking for.
You're welcome, Nancy 🙂 glad it helped
Thank you, really informative, such sweet little flowers 💕
Thank you Rachel, aren't they so adorable 😍
I have 10 different packs of flowers and vines and i want to start them soon so i could give my brothers and nephew and nieces to give for her birthday in june. I will start them in small peet pot size pots and transplant later to garden beds ,raised beds , and hanging pots for some vines. She has a walkway arch that I could build some beds around to make the vines grow up on the arch.
Hi Dalan, that sound lovely 😍 I hope it turns out beautifully 💚
Very helpful, thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
The analogy I'm using has a thousand secrets. Forget me nots, a letter from the scapegoat, foraging for the seeds of new life.
Lovely 😍
Brilliant Sandra. ❤️🌸❤️
I've tried these from seed, grew them in more of a dappled shade type environment, yet they grew 2 leaves, small as hell, then died. Fun.
Hi Jeff, shame the seeds didn't work out. Could be the soil or the quality of the seeds. Sometimes the seeds that are sold contain dud or old seeds with lower viability which could explain why they didn't grow well.
Same, one survived though! For me when I forgot about them and let them be on their own, now they're like an inch tall. Water like once a week and left them inside a clear drawer lol.
Beautiful❤❤
Yes they are ❤️
Hi Kitty thank you for the brilliant video. So I have annuals in big pots on the patio. So can I just check I am best to pull them out and then divide them, put them back into a new pot with fresh compost and keep them in the sunshine, read to have them for next spring? I don't have a greenhouse or cold frame you see. Thanks Natalie
Hi Natalie, providing your forget me nots are perennials you can dig them up and divide them, that should reinvigorate the clumps and as a result they should flower better next season. If you have annual forget me nots you could actually just let the flowers go to seed and allow the seeds to sprinkle themselves in the big pots and you should have a show next year. Its ok if you don't have a greenhouse or coldframe, you can either bring them inside or just pop them in a sheltered area in your growing space. Forget me nots are tough! I always recommend giving different methods a go to see what works for you in your garden and climate so if you're not sure if you have annuals or perennials maybe try both methods! Good luck and let me know how it goes! 🙂💚
Good videos 👍
Thank you, Yeti! 😄
Anohana the flower that grew that day. Ring a bell anyone????
Sadly no 😬 what's the reference?
@@balconiagardenit's an abbreviation for "ano hi mita hana" the flower we saw that day
"no namae o" the name of which
"bokutachi wa mada shiranai" we still don't know
This anime will have you crying your eyes out! Top 5 slice of life anime. And the soundtrack is AMAZING! And the English Dub is 10/10. Can't reccomend it enough. All this coming from a guy. This will break you! In a good way tho. Let me know what you think.
My great grandparents house that’s being sold (we’re trying to buy it since my grandpa passed away and my grandma can’t live there alone) had these all over the front yard there were no other flowers besides these and very very few dandelions and little purple flowers and I wanna plant these for my grandma and grandpa for memories especially because elf the meaning of them
That's lovely, Bee 💚 lots of people connect Forget-Me-Nots with people that they love. I wish you the best with the house sale 💚
@@balconiagarden Thank you and I hope we get it if no one wants it we just need a little less then half the original sell price so it’s possible 💛
Hi, I’ve been growing mine from seeds and they’ve been doing very well up until recently. They’re still very young and are only an inch tall, but the leaves have been browning entirely at a rapid pace and dying 😥 I’m not sure what is wrong as I water them and keep the soil moist very frequently and always let it drain.
Hi Gabrielle, if the seeds are biennials or perennials chances are this is part of their normal growth cycle where they almost always die back in winter and then regrow in spring. As long as they have a healthy root system they should be OK!
@@balconiagarden should I continue to water them even if they die in winter?
I planted seeds in small pot. I got long stem seedlings with 2 leaves and then they just collapsed into the dirt 😢 (all but 3). Dirt still feels wet. What can I do to save it
Hi Sue, it sounds like the plants didn't have enough light and became elongated which makes them weak and less likely to grow. If they were young enough they might have also fallen victim to damping off which is a fungus that causes seedlings to collapse. I would start again. Good luck 👍
Thank for the video! How many plants do you have in this single pot?
Hi, you're welcome! This plant is from last year but as far as I can remember it was a single plant. I'd always plant fewer Forget-Me-Nots in a pot rather than more to keep the circulation flowing and reduce the chance of powdery mildew 🙂
I just planted forget me not seeds in a pot and they have germinated. However there is no where on the seed packet that states if they are an annual or perennial form of the plant. Is there any way I can tell what I have by the look of the plant? Thanks!
Hi Linda, annual forget me nots will grow leaves, produce flowers and set seed on one growing season. If you're noticing your forget me nots aren't producing flowers you've probably got either a biennial or perennial variety. It requires a bit of patience to see the flowers but it will be well worth it! Hope that helps :)
@@balconiagarden Yes it does help. Thank you so much!
What type of annual of forget-me-not can you advice for me to get? I live in tropic and it can get really hot here.. Also do they need fertilizer? I appreciate the reply 😄
As they cool-loving plants native to temperate climates you might struggle a bit to grow them in a tropical climate! I would suggest planting them in the shade and keep them regularly watered. Popular annual varieties are Blue Ball and White Ball, also Indigo Compacta although that's a biennial. If you're planting them in pots for inside keep them in a cool spot in your home with nice moist soil. Good luck 👍💓
@@balconiagarden thank you 😊
This was three months ago, but is there anything special I have to do when my Forget-Me-Nots get the two first little leaves? And what should I be expecting after the first pair of leaves?
Sadly I can’t find a time-lapse of Forget-Me-Nots so I’m not sure what to expect!
Hi Kara, do you mean the seed leaves/ cotyledons? The first little leaves will remain on the plant until it produces its first true leaves where it can then start photosynthesising and producing energy to grow. Eventually the first little leaves will fall off so don't worry if they shrivel up. From there the plant should continue to produce leaves and bulk up in size. For annual forget me nots you should eventually see flowers during the same growing season, for biennial and perennial varieties there is also a chance you'll see flowers in the first year but they would be expected to flower in the second growing season and onwards so don't worry if no flowers come. Hope that helps 🙂
@@balconiagarden , yes!
Thank you so much, this will help a lot with my Forget-Me-Nots!
Are forget me nots naturally grown on a pattio safe for edible use i took some from the ground and planted it in.a pot hopeully they will grow but yes if you havnt baught them are they still safe for edible use
Hi Lunar Rose, they should be fine to eat if they haven't come into contact with any pesticides or herbicides or any other liquids or substances that might be poisonous. I would maybe sample a few flowers before using a load of them just to be on the safe side as I'm not a doctor! 😀
Alaska state flower can be grown there from seed.
Lovely! 😍
Can you tell me the growing possibilities in 91°F!!!
Ooo that's pretty high for forget me nots 😬 they can tolerate heat but it will make them go to seed quicker, also if the humidity is high then they're more susceptible to powdery mildew. Choice is yours!
Would it be okay to plant it in the same large pot with a Lantana?
Hey, yes of course as long as they have enough space. Sounds likes a beautiful combination 😀
This is for you regards,never forgotten.
😍
How should you sow the seeds in the post and should u use compost?
Hi, you can sprinkle the seeds on either moist seed compost or onto multi purpose compost then sprinkle a light covering of compost on top and firm down. The seeds should germinate within 2 weeks 🙂
hello, may I ask where did you buy your pot?
Hey, yes I got it and almost all of my indoor pots from Butlers. Its a home and decoration shop, really love their stock 💕
I have a question! Mine are still relitivly small and the new leaves look the same as the seed ones. They are also realy flimsey and cant keep themselfs upright very well, what can i do to fix this?
Hi Sans, do you know what type of forget me nots you have sown? They will have different requirements depending on the type. This article explains the differences well www.masterclass.com/articles/forget-me-not-flower-planting-guide
Don't worry about the leaves, just keep giving them enough light, warmth and moisture during their fragile seedling stage. Remember depending on the variety they will either bloom this year or in the next season.
It's hard to diagnose the problem without knowing your growing set up but the reasons could be many as the seedling stage is fraught with challenges 😂 they could be etiolated which means they're not getting enough light and so they elongate their stems to reach the light and in doing that they weaken their stems which end in them toppling. If so give them more light! Preferably from above. Another reason they're not upright could be damping off, a fungus that kills seedlings and they just collapse. Are they getting enough water too? Give them time and they should right themselves so 🤩
My seed packets do not tell if it is an annual or a perennial forget me not. Is there some other way to tell?
Hi Michelle, I think it will have to be a waiting game to find out, annuals will grow, flower and set seed in one year, biennials the same cycle in two years and if they keep coming back after that then you have perennials ☺️
Can this be planted in a temperature of India?
Hello Pratiksha, forget me nots are generally spring to early summer plants in temperate climates so they prefer temps between 15 to 25°C. I believe there are different forget me not cultivars and some can tolerate temps up to 30C so I recommend doing a bit of research and seeing what plants are available where you live. I always recommend trying things out, you might be surprised how well the plants do!
I have tried growing Forget Me Not Every Spring and I have no luck they grow late for me.
Hi Kathyria, you could try a variety that suits your climate or start with a plug plants/potted plants, plant them out and then let nature take over 🙂
😂 you’re so cute
😂😍 thank you, Billie!
For anyone looking this video only talks about the plant not how to plant
👍
Bullshit me not flower. 💐
