Myosotis scorpioides (true forget-me-not), is Introduced - naturalized; ecologically invasive. If you care for our heritage of native plants in our riparian eco-systems, then please eradicate it.

Bought one small pot 5 years ago when we put in our little pond. It grows all around the pond, in the pond, in pots, and anywhere else where it stays fairly damp. Great ground-cover for wet areas.

Here in Canada we have this great rock garden type. I also have a white coloured type. I just transplanted some from a field where an old farm use to be. Then I noticed some were white and not this light blue. I seperated them and now they grow seperatly each year.

This is a wonderful plant for the waters edge, however, it is invasive and will ring your pond and pop up all over if you don't take care. Chunks that become loose or break off will root successfully elsewhere.
I've had this planted for about 4 years, but this year, because it has been an unusually wet year, it has popped up everywhere I didn't want it. You can weed it successfully, but make sure you get it all - and don't drop any! I am finding that cutting it back aggressively after it flowers is probably the only way to keep it under control.
The long lasting blue flowers are a wonder when in bloom - and it's a wonderful sight during the summer at ponds edge. That's why my positive rating.

This plant loves our wet, cool Alaskan coastal climate. Unlike many other areas, it survives here in our flower beds without benefit of pond or bog. It winters over well, and has naturalized itself. Since it blooms later than the syvatica, we manage to have forget-me-nots blooming most of the season.

Received a clump in a trade last year, and have thoroughly enjoyed this plant. In certain conditions, it might become pesky, but I've got it corralled in an edged bog garden, where it's happily multiplying between the Chelone and Baptisias.
