MYOSOTIS or Forget-Me-Not (Perennial) 



They flower the first season from early spring-sown seed, or they may be sown in summer 

 or early fall; and if bedded out and given protection like pansies they will winter over and 

 commence flowering in early spring; particularly effective as an undergrowth for bulb beds. 

 They are ranked among the best of our spring flowers and are wonderfully effective when 

 grouped with pansies and daisies. AH varieties flourish in moist, shady situations.
