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.
