About this Plant

Description:
Myosotis scorpioides 'Snowflakes' is a low-growing plant that forms a dense carpet of foliage. It features small, lance-shaped leaves that are deep green in color. In late spring to early summer, it produces numerous clusters of tiny, star-shaped flowers on slender stems. The flowers are pure white, creating a beautiful contrast against the dark green foliage. Each individual flower has five petals and a yellow or white center. 'Snowflakes' typically reaches a height of 4 to 6 inches (10 to 15 cm) and spreads rapidly to form a ground-hugging mat.

Care Guide:

Light: Myosotis scorpioides 'Snowflakes' thrives in full sun to partial shade. It prefers at least 4 to 6 hours of direct sunlight per day for optimal growth and flowering. In hot climates, it benefits from some afternoon shade to protect it from excessive heat.

Water: Water Forget-Me-Not is a moisture-loving plant and thrives in consistently moist soil. It is well-suited to wet or boggy areas and can even grow in shallow water. Ensure that the soil remains consistently moist but not waterlogged. Regular watering, especially during dry periods, is crucial to maintain optimal growth and flowering.

Soil: This plant prefers fertile, well-draining soil. It can tolerate a range of soil types, including loam, clay, or sandy soil. Amending the soil with organic matter such as compost can improve its fertility and moisture-retention capabilities.

Temperature: Myosotis scorpioides 'Snowflakes' is hardy in USDA hardiness zones 3 to 9. It can tolerate a wide range of temperatures and is adapted to both cool and mild climates. In regions with hot summers, providing some afternoon shade can help prevent stress and maintain healthier foliage.

Fertilizer: Water Forget-Me-Not does not require heavy fertilization. A balanced, slow-release fertilizer applied in early spring can provide the necessary nutrients for healthy growth. Follow the package instructions for application rates. Avoid over-fertilizing, as it can lead to excessive foliage growth at the expense of flower production.

Maintenance: Remove spent flowers regularly to promote continuous blooming. Deadheading also helps prevent self-seeding, as Water Forget-Me-Not can sometimes become invasive. Trim back the foliage in late fall or early spring to encourage fresh growth.

Pests and Diseases: Myosotis scorpioides 'Snowflakes' is generally resistant to pests and diseases. However, it may occasionally encounter issues such as aphids or powdery mildew. Monitor the plants regularly and take appropriate measures if needed, such as using insecticidal soap for aphid control or applying fungicides for mildew prevention.

Propagation: Water Forget-Me-Not can self-seed freely, but if desired, you can also propagate it through division or by collecting and sowing the seeds. Division is best done in early spring or fall. Sow seeds in early spring or late summer in a prepared seedbed, and keep the soil consistently moist until the seedlings establish.

Myosotis scorpioides 'Snowflakes' adds a delicate beauty to garden borders, rock gardens, or around ponds and water features. With its lovely white flowers and easy-care nature, this plant brings a touch of elegance and charm to any landscape.
