Myosotidium hortensia

Myosotidium hortensia, popularly known as the Chatham Island Forget-me-not, is a herbaceous perennial found naturally on the Chatham Islands. It has stunningly large, glossy, emerald-green leaves and produces clusters of deep blue flowers. These flowers emerge in late spring, forming a mesmerising contrast against its vibrant foliage. With a broad, clump-forming habit, this plant can serve as an incredible focal point in gardens, particularly in coastal and woodland settings.

Growing to a height and spread of about 0.5m to 1m, the Chatham Island Forget-me-not thrives in a sheltered spot with dappled light. It prefers well-drained, fertile soil, and while it's relatively low-maintenance, it appreciates regular watering in dry conditions.
