Small forget-me-not (Myosotis laxa) is a native perennial plant that thrives along streams, ponds, and other wetland areas. This small plant, reaching 15 to 50 cm in height, is characterized by its delicate pale blue flowers with a yellow center, blooming from June to August. Its soft green foliage and fine stems covered in tiny hairs make it an ideal groundcover for water gardens or shorelines.
Ecological Roles
Small forget-me-not attracts various pollinators, especially bees, thanks to its small blue flowers. As a native plant from wetland areas, it contributes to shoreline stabilization and erosion prevention, playing an important ecological role. When cultivated along streams or in water gardens, it helps maintain ecological balance by providing habitat for insects and small aquatic wildlife.
