Forget-me-not White

The white sister of the classic blue — and in many ways the more versatile of the two. Forget-me-not White forms low, neat mounds that become completely smothered in clouds of snowy-white, starry flowers from April to June, bringing a crisp, sophisticated elegance to the spring garden.

Particularly effective in shaded corners, where white reflects even the lowest levels of light and seems to glow at twilight. An outstanding neutral foil for spring bulbs — a frothy white carpet that makes the bold colours of tulips and wallflowers sing.

• Myosotis sylvatica — Hardy Biennial (H5)
• Height: 20–30cm | Flowers: April–June (Year 2)
• Sow outdoors May–July; flowers the following spring
• Partial shade to full sun; moist, well-drained soil
• Self-seeds freely — naturalises beautifully over time
• Vital early nectar source for bees

Grow it with Forget-me-not Blue for a spring carpet that moves between white and blue with the most natural grace.
