The Compindi variety, sometimes referred to as the Chinese Forget-Me-Not, is especially cherished for its vivid, eye-catching blooms. The name "Forget-Me-Not" itself is steeped in romantic legends and historical tales, one of which involves a knight who threw the flowers to his love with the words "forget me not" as he was swept away by a river.

Uses: The Compindi variety of Myosotis is an extremely versatile plant that can be utilized in various parts of your garden.

Growth Habit and Planting Instructions: Myosotis Compindi can grow up to 3 feet in both height and width, forming a rounded mound of foliage and flowers. For the best growing conditions, choose a location with well-drained, moderately fertile soil. They can tolerate both full sun and partial shade. Sow the seeds directly into the soil about 1/8 inch deep, spaced 9-12 inches apart. Water moderately, taking care not to oversaturate the soil, as this can lead to root diseases. Expect blooms to appear between 55-65 days after planting, and continuing through the growing season. The plants can self-seed under good conditions, providing you with a new generation of Forget-Me-Nots for the next growing season.
