These insects are difficult to get rid of, though they cause little damage. Holes in your plants might be due to flea beetles.Place one for every 3 metres (9.8 ft) of affected plants. The pests will bypass your plants and head straight for the beer bath. Then, bury the pan or can so the lid is level with the ground. Make a trap for slugs and snails by filling an aluminum pie pan or cat food can with beer.Once knocked down, an aphid usually won’t be able to make it back onto the plant.
During winters, water them only slightly. Water the forget-me-nots often enough that the soil stays moist but not extensively soggy. Do not allow the plants to stand in water as this will cause the soil to get very damp.
Spray water on your plants regularly to control aphids. The forget-me-not plantation needs deep watering as soon as 3 inches of soil feels dry. As always when growing forget-me-not from seed, be sure to keep your seeds moist while theyre germinating, and until your seedlings are established. Luckily, they are pretty easy to control if you spot them right away. There are few pests that go after forget-me-nots. scorpioides.Trap or spray away pests as soon as you find them. laxa is distinguished by its more spindly growth, lack of stolons, calyx lobes about as long as the tube, and flowers about half the size of M. Myosotis arvensis Description Our most common forget-me-not is often found as a weed of arable land. Both share a similar wetland habitat but M. scorpioides is in the appressed-hairy group along with the native Smaller Forget-me-not ( Myosotis laxa). An aggressive invader of lake margins, shallow woodland pools and small streams, it can form dense mats, choking out most other species. The five Myosotis species in the state fall into two camps: those with appressed hairs on the calyx, and those with spreading hairs. True Forget-me-not is by far the most common Forget-me-not species encountered in Minnesota and one of three non-native Myosotis species in the state. Stems become widely branched in the upper plant, variously covered in appressed hairs, sometimes spreading hairs.įruit is four parted, (a schizocarp) hidden inside the persistent calyx, splitting into four dark, shiny, egg shaped nutlets (mericarps) less than 1/10 inch long, the persistent style in the center is equal to or longer than the nutlets. Select a spot in the garden, and prepare the soil by raking it to loosen it and smooth it out. You can introduce this spring bloomer into your garden in the following way. Stems are round in cross-section or angled, multiple from the base, creeping to erect, often rooting at the nodes and creating dense colonies from spreading runners (stolons). Forget-me-not plants are grown easily from seed, as evidenced by the plant's ability to reseed and spread. Surfaces are sparsely to moderately covered in short appressed hairs, edges are toothless and may have a sparse fringe of hairs especially near the base. Leaves are alternate, the lower leaves mostly broadest above the middle, rounded at the tip, narrowed at the base to a short stalk, 1 to 3 inches long and ¼ to ¾ inch wide, becoming smaller, stalkless or nearly so, and more lance-oblong as they ascend the stem. The central stem, flower stalks and the calyx are sparsely to moderately covered in straight, appressed hairs. The floral tube is longer than the calyx, causing the flower to be flat or even convex across the top. The calyx surrounding the base of the flower is shorter than the stalk and has five triangular lobes that are shorter than the calyx tube. Flower stalks are about ¼ inch long, elongating in fruit. The Forget Me Not Flower (Myosotis) is a biennial plant which may grow anywhere from 6 to 2 feet in height and about 12 in width, and which has delightful. The base of the lobes has a scale-like swollen appendage that forms a bright to deep yellow collar around the throat. 
You can actually divide the plant by hand, separating out sections with numerous roots and several healthy stems. Dig around the root zone carefully in early spring and gently lift the entire plant. Prepare the planting area well by digging in Yates Dynamic Lifter Soil Improver & Plant. Dividing forget-me-nots every 3 to 5 years can help prevent this problem while it also makes more plants.

Flowers are ¼ to 1/3 inch across, bright to pale blue, tubular with 5 spreading, round to egg shaped lobes. Choose a spot in the garden that receives full sun to part shade. Raceme of stalked flowers at the tips of branching stems, the cluster initially tightly curled at the tip with flowers opening in succession as the tip unfurls and elongates.
