(Question)
Hi master, I have some forget-me-nots flowers in my back yard and I love them. But right now, the flowers are gone. What shall I do with the flower-faded plants? I want them come back next spring. Shall I leave them for seeding?
(Answer)
Thank you for contacting the Toronto Master Gardeners.
Myosotis spp. commonly called forget-me-nots will freely self seed. We have others that have loved and asked about these plants.
