Changing forget-me-not
Myosotis discolor
The changing forget-me-not is a charming small wildflower whose tiny blooms shift color from yellow to white to blue as they mature, making it a delightful addition to meadow plantings or cottage garden edges. It prefers well-drained soil in a sunny to partly shaded spot and requires little care once established. Deadhead spent flowers to extend the blooming season and prevent excessive self-seeding.
