Forget-Me-Nots grow anywhere they want...Granted--the two main places i have then are in the East side...
Perhaps they "look" the freshest in some moist shade???
I have never had them, say-in my "YUK" bed--which gets pretty intense light and is very dry.

They self-seed--and once you have them--you will have them all over the same area, as the seeds are miniscule.
They grow the little leaf-clumps in late summer/fall already and these just sit around until spring.
You can dig them up in the fall and move them anywhere you want.

Digging them up in the spring is not that great an idea....their bloom cycle gets interrupted...

Here are a few pictures of them as well as some other blooms now popping out...

--front door bed
--"Stump Bed'---nothing in the pot yet. Waiting for my caladiums...
-Blue Wood Hyacinths next to Dwarf, purple iris
--Koromo Shukibu Azalea--now in full bloom
--My carpet Rose--not in bloom yet..can't wait! it has grown so big Aall of a sudden!
