forget me not 'Sylvia White'
forget me not (Myosotis sylvatica)
Blooming earlier than other Myosotis cultivars, this compact ball-shaped forget-me-not transforms spring gardens with clouds of pristine white flowers adorned with cheerful lemon yellow centres. The dainty blooms appear in remarkable abundance, creating a uniform carpet of colour that attracts beneficial insects throughout the season.
Forget-me-not 'Sylvia White' excels when mass-planted along path edges and border fronts, where its neat, compact habit creates stunning displays. The bright white flowers provide excellent contrast when paired with spring-flowering bulbs or ferns.
This short-lived perennial, commonly grown as a superb spring 'bedding' annual, delivers exceptional impact despite its modest flower size, making it invaluable for naturalistic plantings and cottage garden schemes. The early flowering period extends the season of interest, providing nectar sources when few other plants are in bloom.

How to care for Myosotis sylvatica Sylvia White:
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.
