Beautiful and dainty, Forget-me-nots are a classic springtime cottage garden flower, and now we also sell them in white!
Beautiful and dainty, these provide wonderful ground cover and look glorious amongst wallflowers and tulips in spring.
Once they have flowered, leave the plants in place and allow the seeds to fall naturally. Leave to overwinter and then relocate the new little seedlings to where you want them early the following spring.
Seed Quantity: 500 Seeds
Type: Short-lived Perennial/Biennial
Genus: Myosotis alpestris
Sow Seeds: Sow them in May-June onto moist compost and cover very lightly. They are fully hardy and will flower the following April-June. Germination takes 14-18 days. Keep moist but do not overwater. Once they are large enough to handle, prick them out and pot on.
Plant Out: Acclimatise gradually before planting them out into the garden in early autumn. Or if you prefer you can sow the seeds directly in May/June once all risk of frost has passed.
Flowers: April-June

Seeds germinated within a week of sewing. Very pleased with the quality. The shop is lovely to navigate, prices are very reasonable and overall service is 100%.
I am definitely a satisfied customer and have been back and bought more seeds
I have ordered many seeds from this website, the delivery is reasonable and so are the seeds. I get fantastic germination and am no expert. I have tried other seed companies and nothing compares. This is a very safe bet and one that you won’t regret.
Completely a beginner but they have germinated after a couple of days and seedlings seem to be coming along nicely, very healthy and happy little plants … seeds came in addition to sow a long package and all beautifully presented … will be a repeat customer
I’ve made 3 orders with bishy barnabees cottage garden so far (spending between £20-30 each time) and every time the seeds have been dispatched quickly. For a small business getting my order within a week is excellent! Ive had amazing rate of germination on every species of seed I’ve sown. The young plants are all healthy and look likely to become healthy adult plants by summer. I’ve interacted with the owner on social media too and can honestly say she’s lovely!
Last year I grew lots of fantastic corncockle, but this will be the first time I've tried Bianca.
There's always so many amazing seeds/flowers to choose from at Bishybarnabees Cottage Garden. Delivered swiftly and hugely successful germination 🌱🥰🌱
Sowed the Dahlia Seeds last week - (in a suitable Pot on the Kitchen Window Sill - which serves as my greenhouse) the sturdy little Dahlia seeds were through in two days and are looking very healthy and happy! Obviously very fresh seeds in the packet.
The Sanctuary wax melts have a lovely spa fragrance that lasts for ages. Loved them so much I ordered more. I haven't tried the lemon and ginger yet. Excellent quality and service.
Beautifully packaged & illustrated. Will be planted next year and I’m confident they will germinate easily as Bishy Barnabee’s Cottage Garden Seeds are reliable.
Such a lovely company to buy from, from start to finish! Great website with a gorgeous selection of seeds and seed collections. On delivery, my order was beautifully packaged with a pretty dried flower added to my box. The seed packets are so gorgeous and each one has very clear instructions and tips. So glad I’ve discovered this company and will definitely be buying from again!
