Myosotis scorpioides 'Snowflakes'
water forget-me-not
This resilient perennial, thriving in reliably moist soils, finds its place along pond edges or within the damp embrace of a bog garden. 'Snowflakes' bears creeping rhizomes, and ultimately forms a verdant clump of captivating foliage with delicate sprays of early summer, petite, snow-white flowers, each bearing a mesmerising yellow eye.
How to care for Myosotis scorpioides Snowflakes:
Plant 9cm pots directly into consistently moist soil, or submerge the aquatic planting basket option in shallow water (about 2-5cm or 1-2in). Keep the soil or water level evenly moist, especially during dry periods. In spring, divide any overcrowded or large clumps to maintain healthy growth and encourage fresh flowering.
