    Customer Reviews

    Overall rating: 1.7 / 5 from 6 reviews.

    Like another reviewer said, this is a leggy “field” forget me not, not the species seed in the picture which is more full, bigger flowers. I spread heavily three years ago and get these tall (12-16”) wispy blooms with pale flowers the size of baby’s breath, which is not what I wanted. They have set seed and it’s now a big pain pulling the seedlings up three years later

    For a plant known for easily germination and being prolific spreaders I did have a single seed germinate while following the planting guide.

    Bought 3 different colors of forget me nots, and didn't have one sprout or come up. Incredibly disappointed in this item.

    None of the 100 forget-me-not seeds germinated.

    I sowed an ounce of these seeds last year for blooms this spring. They germinated and grew wonderfully—but now that they are blooming, it’s clear the seeds were not of one species, as advertised. A so significant portion of what’s growing appears to be the much less impressive, weedier M. arvensis, with tiny pale blue flowers. They’re taller and crowd out the ones that do appear to be M. alpestris. I’m going to have to pull most of these up and start over.

    These flowers say it all...Forget me Nots. We purchased these along with Shasta Daiseys for those are our beautiful baby granddaughters birth month flowers. We purchased flowers to pass out at Izzys Celebration of Life. For She was just 15 months old and she touched and changed so many life's. For her story type: Sweet Izabelle Prayers. We needed the flower seed packets ASAP and Eden Brothers customer service and wonderful staff helped us figure out the best possible way to send them out, and they put a rush on the order. The seeds came when they said they would, we are so grateful to them as it was our daughter in laws and sons wish to have these seeds to pass out in memory of Sweet Izzy. Thank you Eden Brothers for making this happen., can't wait to plant them on her birth month of April...
