Very aptly, Charis chose the forget-me-not as her favourite plant - clearly, she has the same quick wits as her brother! Contrary to what I have repeatedly told both Charis and Flora, I'm sure I won't forget them while they're away...Myosotis sylvatica, "Wood Forget-me-not".
(Herbaceous biennial or perennial.)
Planting: May to September.
Flowering: April to June.
Aspect: Full sun or partial shade, ideally near water.
Hardiness: Hardy.
Notes: Of course, there is no shortage of tales explaining how the forget-me-not acquired its name. My term of the day, however, is "nectar café": a generous selection of bee-friendly flowers, which The Wildlife Trust would like every garden to have.
