Description

The Victoria Azurea woodland forget-me-not forms a compact and rounded clump of 20 cm in all directions. This biennial plant is ideal for dressing up a pot, as a border plant, or for forming a dense carpet of small blue flowers in spring. It pairs wonderfully with spring bulbs and other primroses. Easy to grow, Myosotis sylvatica thrives in moist, fertile, and well-drained soil, in partial shade or full sun. By sowing your seeds between June and early September, you will achieve flowering in the following spring.

From the Boraginaceae family, Myosotis sylvatica is a biennial plant, meaning it flowers the year following the sowing and then disappears. It is native to almost all of Europe, except for the far north and southwest, and grows naturally in meadows, clear undergrowth, and at the edge of forests. The 'Victoria Azurea' variety is appreciated for its small size, no more than 20 cm in all directions, and its profusion of flowers. It forms a small round cushion of small light green, slightly hairy leaf rosettes. From April to June, the plant is literally covered in small flowers, about 5 mm in diameter and intense blue. It often self-seeds naturally in the garden.

The Victoria Azurea Forget-Me-Not will find a place in all gardens, in a border to dress the base of perennials, in beds, rockeries, or even large pots or containers. It is an essential ally for your spring garden. Plus, it pairs wonderfully with spring-flowering bulbs like White Pearl Grape Hyacinth with white flowers and Tête Bouclée Daffodil with double lemon yellow flowers. Don't hesitate to associate it with Bellis perennis Tasso Strawberries and Cream daisies with pale pink flowers for a composition full of softness. The combination of yellow and blue is a spring must-have with the Belarina Buttercup Yellow Double Primrose!

Planting and care

Sow your Myosotis 'Victoria Azurea' between May and early September, ideally in a tray kept between 15 and 20 °C and choose a bright location. Place the seeds on the surface of moist, light and well-drained compost. Germination takes between 14 and 30 days. When the young plants have 5 to 6 leaves, you can transplant them into pots or in the garden. Late summer sowings can overwinter in a cool place to be planted in the ground from March, 20 to 30 cm apart.
In August, it is possible to sow directly in the ground, at a depth of 6 mm, in rows spaced 20 to 30 cm apart. Thin out to a distance of 20 cm, keeping only the most developed plants. Your Myosotis will bloom the following spring.

It is an easy plant to succeed with, which adapts to any soil with a preference for fertile, light, moist and well-drained soil. Partial shade or non-scorching sun suits it. As for maintenance, regularly remove faded flowers to prolong its flowering.
