Strict forget-me-not
Myosotis stricta
Strict forget-me-not is a compact annual or short-lived perennial that produces small, sky-blue flowers and is well suited to rock gardens, borders, and wildflower meadows in temperate climates. It prefers a sunny to partially shaded spot with moderately moist, well-drained soil and requires very little care once established. Deadhead spent blooms to prolong flowering, and allow some seed heads to set for natural self-seeding the following season.
