If you're a fan of forget-me-nots you'll love these! Flowering on 60-80cm stems, Cynoglossum can be sown in succession to provide blooms throughout the summer and autumn season. 

Sow under cover four weeks before your last frost date; sow outside after the risk of frost has passed. Sowing temp 18-21°C; germination between 7-14 days in optimum conditions. Pinch to encourage branching.

Cut when the first seed heads appear along the stem and half of the blooms are open; the stem will not be mature enough to hydrate well if cut before the formation of the first seed heads. Flower buds will continue to open in the vase. Place straight into water and keep stems upright to prevent bending. Allow to condition well overnight before use.

Vase life: 7-10 days
