Forget-me-nots are easy to grow as long as they have organically enriched soil, regular-to-ample water and partial shade. They prefer moist soil with good drainage in a sunny or shady spot.

Can Forget-Me-Nots be planted in the shade?

Forget-Me-Nots grow best in moist, but well-drained soil – they typically prefer the shade but will grow well in sunnier, partially-shaded spots too! When to plant your seeds: You can sow your seeds directly into the garden after the danger of frost has passed – between late spring and late summer is best.

How much sun should a forget-me-not Get?

Forget-me-nots prefer full sun, but where the summers are hot, they are better placed where they get some afternoon shade. Forget-me-nots also prefer consistently moist soil. Some species can actually grow in standing water and perform well as marginal water plants.
