(Alpine Forget-Me-Not, Mountain Forget-Me-Not)

A quaint wildflower of the alpine regions of Europe, Asia, and northwestern North America, this small, fuzzy-leaved, sometimes short-lived herbaceous perennial produces rich blue flowers in mid-spring. It is often confused in horticulture with woodland forget-me-not, Myosotis sylvatica, which is a prolifically self-sowing biennial.

Plants form low tufted clumps of fuzzy, oblong, light green leaves. Dense clusters of five-petaled flowers appear on compact stems from mid-spring to as...

Often short-lived, woodland forget-me-not is an herbaceous perennial of European origin. The cultivar 'Bluesylva' bears an abundance of luminous sky-blue flowers on compact stems. In spring plants form small clumps of small hairy leaves from which rise branched flower stems with curled flower spikes (helicoid cymes) dotted with tiny blue five-petaled flowers with white and yellow centers. These fairyland flowers have an airy, ephemeral appearance and can bloom from spring into summer.

(Water Forget-Me-Not)

Longer-lived and longer-blooming than the more commonly grown Myosotis sylvatica, this beautiful but sometimes invasive Eurasian native has naturalized in aquatic habitats in North America and Japan. This hardy herbaceous perennial bears clusters of sky-blue flowers with white eyes atop low to medium-tall stems throughout much of summer. The yellowish-green tongue-shaped leaves are somewhat fleshy. Plants spread via self-sowing and by a dense network of underground rhizomes. Unlike Myosotis...
