Forget-me-not, scientifically known as *Myosotis syluatica*, is a charming biennial herb that typically grows to a height of 30–60 cm. Its leaves are alternately arranged, with the lower ones being stalked and the upper ones sessile. The leaf blades are oblanceolate in shape, giving the plant a delicate appearance. The flowers are borne in terminal racemes, measuring about 10–15 cm long. Each flower has a salverform corolla with five lobes, which can be blue, pink, or white, often featuring a yellow throat. The flowering season usually occurs between April and May, followed by small, brownish-green nuts that mature from May to June.
Several related species exist, such as *Myosotis scorpioides*, commonly known as Swamp Forget-me-not. This perennial plant is more robust and comes in a variety of colors, including white and red. It thrives in moist environments and has a long flowering period. Another variant, *Myosotis scorpioides* var. *semperflorens*, is a dwarf type, reaching only about 15 cm in height. It also has a long blooming time and prefers moist conditions.
Forget-me-nots prefer full sun but can tolerate partial shade. They are cold-resistant and thrive in fertile, moist, and well-drained soils. For cultivation, it's best to sow seeds in autumn, with an ideal germination temperature of around 20°C. Spring sowing is also possible, though it may delay and shorten the flowering period. Vegetative propagation through runners or cuttings is another effective method during the growing season.
Once seedlings are ready, they should be transplanted into the garden in early November, with a spacing of about 30 cm. Proper watering and fertilization during the growing season help promote healthy growth and abundant flowering. After the plants have finished blooming, the fruits should be harvested promptly to prevent them from falling off. The seeds are usually collected by cutting the fruiting stems, drying them, and then threshing to extract the seeds.
Common pests and diseases affecting forget-me-nots include leaf blight and infestations by cockroaches and other insects. These issues can be managed with proper care and timely intervention.
Native to Europe and northern Asia, *Myosotis syluatica* is cultivated in various regions, including parts of China. In Fuling County, for example, species like Chenling and Bailiang can be found. These plants are widely used in gardens due to their small size and attractive blooms, making them ideal for spring and early summer displays. They are often planted in flower beds, mixed with bulbous flowers to enhance visual appeal, or grown in containers for decorative purposes.
