What color are cape forget-me-not flowers?
They are a brilliant true blue, often with a tiny white or yellow eye, one of the purest blues you can grow from seed.
When and how do I plant cape forget-me-not seeds?
Sow directly after the last frost or start indoors. Barely cover the seeds and keep them lightly moist; seedlings appear in about 14 to 21 days.
How much sun and space does it need?
Grow it in full sun to part shade in soil that drains well, and space plants about 8 to 12 inches apart.
How do I keep it flowering?
Deadhead or shear the plant back lightly after the first flush of bloom to encourage a fresh wave of flowers.
Will cape forget-me-not come back each year?
It often self-sows, dropping seed for new plants the following year, though it is usually grown as an annual.
Is it good for pollinators?
Yes. The nectar-rich blue flowers are a favorite of bees and other pollinators throughout the warm season.
