How to sow:
Direct sow seeds as soon as soil can be worked in early spring. Seeds can also be sown indoors 4 weeks before last frost.

Pinching is not necessary.
Care:
Chinese Forget-Me-Nots will tolerate half shade. Stems are prone to wilting in the heat, so harvest cut flowers in the early morning or late evening. Harvest when half the florets on a stem are open. 75-85 days to maturity.
