To propagate forget-me-nots, the most common method is by dividing the plant in early spring after flowering, ensuring each section has roots and shoots, and then replanting them separately; you can also propagate them by sowing fresh seeds directly outdoors in the spring or early summer, as they readily self-seed and spread naturally through dropped seeds.
Key points about propagating forget-me-nots:
Division: Best time: Early spring after blooming.
Process: Gently lift the plant, identify natural separations in the root ball, carefully divide with a sharp tool to create sections with roots and shoots, and replant each section individually.
Seed propagation: Sow seeds directly outdoors in spring or early summer.
Lightly cover seeds with soil. Keep the soil moist until germination. Thin seedlings as needed.
Important considerations:
Self-seeding: Forget-me-nots readily self-seed, so you may not need to actively propagate them if you want them to spread naturally.
