Myosotis sylvatica Snowsylva is an elegant and striking white variety from the Sylva Series—loved for its compact growth, long-lasting blooms, and airy appearance. While blue forget-me-nots are familiar and widespread, Snowsylva something exceptional: snow-white flowers with a subtle yellow center, bringing light, space, and tranquility to any garden. This white variety is the perfect choice for those seeking refinement in spring gardens, pots, and shady borders.
Like other Sylva varieties, Snowsylva a biennial to short-lived perennial, with hairy gray-green leaves arranged in fresh rosettes. After a period of winter cold (vernalization), the plant blooms profusely and reliably in spring—often when the garden is just awakening. The flowers are densely arranged in soft, almost powdery corollas, creating a cloud-like, almost powdery bloom.
The Sylva Series is known for its uniformity, vigor, and intense color. Snowsylva retains all these qualities but adds a unique, crystal-clear flower color that visually brightens gardens.
