Myosotis arvensis, commonly known as Field Forget-Me-Not, is an herbaceous annual to short-lived perennial plant. It is native to Europe, North Africa, and Western Asia, thriving in a range of habitats such as grasslands, open woodlands, and forest edges. This species typically grows to a height of 5-30 cm, with a spread of 10-50 cm, and has a tufted growth habit. The leaves are oblong to lanceolate, and the plant produces small, sky-blue flowers with yellow centers from late spring to early summer. The flowers are modest in size but can create a charming display when in large numbers. The plant is also known for its ability to self-seed and spread.

Field Forget-Me-Not is valued for its delicate flowers and ability to naturalize in a garden setting, providing a soft blue hue to borders and wildflower meadows. It is relatively low-maintenance, preferring well-drained soils and full sun to partial shade. While it can tolerate a range of soil types, it performs best in moderately fertile ground. It is not typically afflicted by serious pests or diseases, but powdery mildew and rust can occasionally be problems. Due to its potential for self-seeding, it may become weedy if not managed. Gardeners should be cautious about planting it outside its native range, as it can become invasive in some regions.CC BY-SA 4.0
