Water forget-me-not (or true forget-me-not) is a rhizomatous marginal aquatic perennial that typically grows 6-10? ( less frequently to 18?) tall on decumbent to upright angular stems. Light sky blue 5-lobed flowers (1/4? diameter) with yellow centers bloom in branched scorpioid cymes that uncoil as the flowers open. Long spring through summer bloom period. The cymes, particularly when in bud and early bloom, resemble a coiled scorpion?s tail, hence the specific epithet. Shiny, oblong to lance-shaped, bright green leaves (to 4? long).
