Notes

'Rosylva' wood forget-me-not (Myosotis sylvatica 'Rosylva') is a perennial for borders, rock gardens, and ground cover. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to wet, loamy or clay soil. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. It grows in clumps, stays evergreen, and grows at a moderate pace. Blooms open from early to late spring and draw butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and birds.

Pairs well with Nodding onion, Carlton daffodil, White Swan coneflower, and Sedge.
