How Do I Know When Forget Me Nots Are Ready To Self Seed Or Have Already Dropped Their Seed?

My nephew passed away and his flower was forget me nots. I have some seeds which are currently growing but I read they die off at the end of the season and self seed.

So sorry about your nephew – please accept our condolences.
Usually, if you do not remove the flowers, they will dry up, drop off and re-seed themselves. Forget me nots do this quite well – just don't pluck the flowers off.
