Myosotis Collection

This Myosotis Collection brings together 3 excellent varieties of different colours, in packs of 5 plug plants. These small plants for cool undergrowth, simple and delightfully romantic, are an excellent complement to all garden or terrace plants. Generous and early-flowering, the varieties offered here bloom from March to June-July. Cultivated as biennials, forget-me-nots can self-seed spontaneously, not always faithfully, in flower beds. Autumn planting ensures excellent spring flowering.

The collection consists of:

5 plug plants of Myosotis sylvatica 'Bluesylva': flowering in a pure, almost "electric" blue with a small yellow heart.

5 plug plants of Myosotis sylvatica 'Rosylva': a sinple and very feminine version of the woodland forget-me-not, with bright pink flowers and a yellow heart.

5 plug plants of Myosotis sylvatica 'Snowsylva' (White sylva): this variety has white flowers with a discreet yellow heart.

Forget-me-nots thrive in partial shade and rich soil with some moisture. Plant them in pots and containers or directly in the ground, with a spacing of 10-15 cm. Plant them, if possible upon receipt, in September-October or March-April. If the planned location is not ready yet or the conditions are unfavourable for planting, you can grow them on for 4 to 6 weeks.

In pots and containers, use good potting soil for flowering plants (such as geranium potting soil) enriched with clay and slow-release fertiliser, light and well-draining. The top of the plug should be level with the soil. Water generously at planting and in the following weeks, as plug plants can dry out quickly. However, be careful not to overwater! Make sure to use containers with drainage holes and empty the saucer 10 minutes after watering. Remember to water even during winter if it doesn't rain or if the container is placed in a sheltered spot. Do not water during freezing periods.

In the garden, forget-me-nots are traditionally used to enhance spring bulbs such as daffodils, narcissus, and tulips, lightening their blooms. For this use, young plants are planted between small groups of bulbs in autumn. You can also plant them en masse to create a light carpet in perennial flower beds, borders, and containers. In warmer regions, they will thrive in the shade alongside bleeding hearts. The delicate umbel flowers of woodland forget-me-nots are very decorative in spring bouquets, highlighting the plump flowers of peonies and roses.

Note: Please be aware that our young plug plants are products intended for experienced gardeners: upon receipt, transplant them as soon as possible, in pots, containers, or directly in flower beds.
