Is there any way to control Myosotis scorpioides?
Control options have not been very well documented. This species is likely very difficult to control due to abundant seed production and spread via stolons. There are no known biological control methods for this species. This plant cannot survive exposure to temperatures below -33 F (USDA Plants Database, 2013).
How big of a container do I need for Myosotis scorpioides?
Creeping underground rhizomes form dense colonies. Plant in 1 gallon container with up to 3 in. of water over the crown to control spread. Naturalizes on banks of still and slow-moving water.
