Alpine Forget-Me-Not

Alpine Forget-Me-Not (Myosotis alpestris), also known as Scorpius Forget-Me-Not, is a species of flowering plant in the Boraginaceae family. It has small, axillary, bright blue flowers that bloom in the early spring. Some cultivars have more flower petals that give off a deeper colour. The leaves are small, lightly toothed, and grey-green. The plant grows to about 10–30cm high and spreads by rhizomes. It can be found in the meadows of Europe, Siberia, North America, and South Africa.

Alpine Forget-Me-Not is fairly drought tolerant as long as the soil is well-draining. It is best to water deeply but infrequently. Check the soil every week and water when the soil is dry to the touch. Always allow the water to completely drain away.
