The large, fleshy, deeply veined leaves are glossy emerald green. The terminal clusters of forget-me-not-like, sky-blue flowers with paler edges rise above the clump in May and June, and are very attractive to pollinators. Chatham Island Forget-me-not is ideal for a lightly shaded cottage garden with moist soil, and can also be planted at the base of deciduous trees. In colder areas, it can be planted in soil-based, gritty compost in a pot, taken in for the winter. Ideally, mulch with seaweed, but manure or garden compost will do. Keep it in light shade, and sheltered – it dislikes cold, drying winds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSite: \u003c\/b\u003eSheltered, including coastal sites\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSoil:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eAny light, gritty, moist but well-drained, neutral to acid soil\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePosition:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003ePartial, dappled or light shade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeason of Interest: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLate Spring and early Summer\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHardiness: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHardy to -5 to -10ºC\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHeight:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e18” (45cm)\u003cb\u003e\u003cb id=\"docs-internal-guid-d3e8776d-7fff-e37c-3e2b-8d09591d664b\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb\u003eSpread:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e20-39” (50cm-1m) in 2-5 years\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Future Forests","offers":[{"title":"Pot | 3L","offer_id":53141079458119,"sku":null,"price":20.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0617\/2750\/6590\/files\/Myosotidiumhortenzia2FF.jpg?v=1768402811","url":"https:\/\/futureforests.ie\/products\/myosotidium-hortensia","provider":"Future Forests","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
