Myosotis palustris 'Semperflorens' - Marginal Pond Plants - MP084B

Myosotis palustris 'Semperflorens', commonly called long‑flowering water forget‑me‑not, is a captivating marginal aquatic perennial renowned for its delicate clusters of vivid blue flowers with yellow to white eyes. Unlike the typical spring‑blooming forms, 'Semperflorens' offers an extended flowering season—producing abundant sprays from late spring well into summer. Its slender, upright stems emerge from clumps of narrow, medium‑green leaves, presenting a lively and textured display that dances at the water’s edge. This charming cultivar brings both aesthetic and ecological value, inviting pollinators such as bees and butterflies to your pond margins, bog gardens, or damp border areas.

Thriving in consistently moist to shallowly submerged conditions (ideally in up to 10 cm of water), 'Semperflorens' prefers humus‑rich, fertile soil and benefits from full sun to partial shade. Its rhizomatous growth habit allows it to form a softly defined clump without aggressive spreading, making it perfect for naturalistic planting schemes or softening pond edges. Easy‑going and hardy, it's a resilient performer that requires little upkeep beyond occasional deadheading to maintain bloom quality. Though not native to Great Britain or Ireland, this cultivar’s enduring blooms and graceful presence make it a coveted choice for gardeners seeking a splash of lasting colour in wet, shady settings.
