Plant details
Unlike garden forget-me-nots, which tend to be biennial, this is reliably perennial and gradually expands, without being invasive, into large clumps that benefit from division every few years. It has various slightly different forms depending on whether it grows below or above the water line. This is an essential ingredient of plantings in natural ponds, or at the waterside to hide the edge of the liner and soften the outline, and is equally happy planted in a basket or direct in the soil in shallow water. Trouble-free and charming in most situations, this is also known as M. palustris.
