forget me not 'Sylvia Blue'
forget me not (Myosotis sylvatica)
Forget-me-nots are one of the most welcome sights in spring. The flowers may be small, but they appear in abundance and their colour is bright and cheerful. These short-lived perennials look great teamed up with spring-flowering bulbs or ferns, particularly when planted en-masse along the edges of a path or border.
Myosotis 'Sylvia Blue' is an excellent, pastel blue that really pops, often seen growing among seasonal plantings of yellow or white tulips.

How to care for Myosotis sylvatica Sylvia Blue:
Pot up seedlings and cuttings and grow on under glass until all risk of frost has passed and they can then either be planted outside into a well-prepared bed, or used to fill decorative pots and hanging baskets for the patio.
Forget-me-nots thrive in moist, well-drained soil and prefer partial shade. Water frequently during dry spells to maintain evenly moist soil. Deadhead spent blooms to promote continued flowering.
These short-lived perennials are best grown as biennials or annuals but will self seed and spread if left untrimmed after flowering. Divide overcrowded clumps every 2-3 years after flowering to maintain vigour.
