Myosotis arvensis A. A delightful annual with blue or pink flowers, will self seed readily. It is easy to grow and produces a carpet of tiny blue flowers.
Not only does it provide early colour for borders and wild areas, but it makes an attractive groundcover between spring flowering bulbs. Flowering the year after sowing, the plant's foliage is bright green and provides the perfect canvas for these small blooms.
Wilding - let the flowers do their own thing and they will drop their seeds naturally and reappear in the following year if conditions are right.
Herbaceous Borders - thin out to 30cm intervals and keep the bed free of weeds until the plants have become established. Collect seeds once they are ready to harvest to sow again in the following season.
Sow: May - July
Flowering period: April - June
