Description

Myosotis sylvatica 'Sylva Mix' is a colourful mix of wood or forest forget-me-nots. It is generous with its delightful little flowers, well-known in all possible colours: white, pink, and of course blue. This annual or short-lived perennial roams the garden and forms bright carpets at the base of bulbs, bushes, and perennials. This plant self-seeds reliably over the years. It shows a preference for a rather moist, fertile, and well-drained soil, in the partial shade of woodlands, or in sunny borders and rockeries.

The wood forget-me-not is a plant from the borage family, native to meadows, clearings, and forest edges across almost all of Europe, except for the far north and southwest. This short-lived perennial plant, typically grown as an annual, forms small rosettes of hairy, pale green foliage from which hairy stems emerge from April to June, branching out in their upper part, bearing up to 30 cm high curved inflorescences that lengthen as the flowers bloom. They are composed of bright lavender blue, soft pink, or white fragrant flowers with a yellow heart, 5 mm in diameter. Once well established, the wood forget-me-not self-seeds abundantly in the garden.

Myosotis sylvatica 'Sylva Mix', an annual or short-lived perennial, is particularly appreciated in spring when its flowers appear. It spreads spontaneously in the garden, creating bright carpets at the base of bulbs, bushes, and other perennials. Enjoying our climates, it self-seeds, blending into the landscape over the years, almost timeless. It prefers moist, fertile, and well-drained soils, thriving equally well in the gentle shade of woodlands as in sunny borders and rockeries. Mix 'Sylva Mix' in a variety of colours with spring bulbs and flowers like Daffodils, narcissi, primroses, dwarf irises, or tulips to complement their blooms.

Planting and care

Sow the Myosotis Sylva Mix from May to June. Place the seeds on the surface of moist, light and well-drained soil. Do not cover the seeds. Enclose in a polythene bag maintained at 15 to 20ºC. Germination usually takes 14 to 30 days. Do not exclude light, as it facilitates germination. Seeds can also be sown directly outside, 6mm deep, in rows spaced 30cm apart. Thin to 23cm apart. Transplant the plants when they are large enough into individual pots. Let them grow in cooler conditions for 10 to 15 days before transplanting them when the risk of frost has passed, spacing them 15cm apart. September sowings can overwinter in a cool place and be transplanted outdoors in spring. Wood forget-me-not thrives in any ordinary, well-drained soil, in partial shade or dappled sunlight.
