Myosotis sylvatica ‘Rosylva’

Description

Myosotis sylvatica (Wood Forget-me-not) ‘Rosylva’ is a charming short-lived perennial or biennial. This cultivar has masses of small, twinkling, pale-pink flowers that emerge in late spring and continue into early summer, providing great colour and brightness to shady spots in the tricky May gap. The flowers, which are loved by pollinators, are set off by the clumps of bright green foliage at the base. Though short-lived, Forget-me-nots will self-seed prolifically and persist in the garden for many years once established – if any emerge later in summer where they are not wanted it’s easy enough to move them in clumps. They are great low-maintenance options for the early summer and late spring garden, looking particularly good in woodland areas, underplanting shrubs, or massed under salmon or pink coloured tulips and late flowering daffodils.

These established plants have been grown in peat-free compost at our nursery in Cornwall and are supplied in 1 litre containers (the price is for two of these plants). They will grow to an ultimate height of about 15-30cm (6-12 inches) with a spread of around 60cm (24 inches).
