Mr Fothergill's Forget Me Not Indigo Seeds, Perfect companion for spring bulbs. Forget-me-nots do best in light or part shade, as they originate from woodland areas.

Sow outdoors in a seed bed, 0.5cm deep into finely prepared soil which has already been watered. Seedlings usually appear in 14-28 days. Thin seedlings to 5cm apart when large enough to handle. Plant out to flowering positions in autumn, allowing 15cm between plants.

• A hardy biennial, flowers the year after sowing
• Easy to grow for a mass of flowers in late spring
• For beds and borders, especially with spring bulbs

Sow time: May-Jul
Flowering/Harvesting time: Apr-Jun
