Myosotis sylvatica
Sweet clusters of blue flowers will dot the corners of any cottage garden. Perennial, this demure gem displays clusters of five-petaled blooms upon stems that reach no higher than two feet tall. Often found growing near creeks and streams, forget-me-nots love moisture and are a great option for shady locations in the garden.
Direct seed in early spring or transplant into the garden after all danger of frost has passed. Forget-Me-Nots will need full sun to partial shade and well-draining soil. Water well to ensure good germination. Once germinated, they will need at least an inch of water per week. Typically grown for flowers. Perennial in zones four through eight.
