Forget-Me-Not (Myosotis spp.)

Forget-Me-Nots are charming, low-growing perennials or biennials prized for their delicate clusters of small, sky-blue flowers with cheerful yellow centers. Blooming in early to mid-spring, they create a carpet of soft color in shady or woodland garden settings. Their self-seeding nature allows them to naturalize beautifully, spreading gently from year to year without being invasive. Forget-Me-Nots are symbolic of remembrance and enduring love, often used in cottage gardens and memorial plantings.
