It requires a little care to cultivate Myosotidium successfully. It can be reared 

 from seeds without the slightest difficulty, but to grow it to maturity and flower 

 it regularly a special border is requisite. This should be made of sand and peaty 

 loam, and the drainage should be absolutely free. A certain amount of shade is 

 necessary, and abundance of moisture should be provided. If the above steps are 

 taken the plant can usually be established, and may be flowered for many years in 

 succession. A white-flowered variety is perhaps even more ornamental than the 

 type.
