These flowers do best in deep water, so use them tucked into the base of arrangements close to the water level. See flower arranging tip, 12.
Growing Tip:
Once established, forget-me-nots need very little care and will multiply and spread quickly. They like gentle shade and moist conditions, so plant them in and around trees to naturalize for a striking blue carpet. Forget-me-nots also make a nice ground cover for spring bulbs. The bright-blue color accents other spring flowers and camouflages the spent foliage once the bulbs have bloomed.
