I really, really dislike the colour @Busy-Lizzie. I won't entertain any plant that colour. There's a brunnera that has that colour too. Don't like the colour indoors either
It's your garden @jayne10b, so you have what you like and what suits you and your conditions. That's all that matters. If they're getting a bit above themselves, as many people find, then just be prepared to do a bit of pulling out!
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
My forget-me-nots were already in the garden when I moved here 18 years ago. I have let them do their own thing so they pop up in between paving, in the bark paths etc. but never in the beds, unless I move them there. I lift some and put them in the tops of containers when I plant tulips etc. I remember my mother's bed of pink Darwin tulips underplanted with forget-me-nots. My visiting cousin and I, aged around two, picked every head off the tulips! If you are a very tidy gardener who constantly weeds and tidies up chances are the seedlings will not survive. It is a personal choice whether to hoik them out or leave them. They are very easy to weed out. Thet are not likely to become unmanagable.
I moved some from my mum's garden after she died. Love them, obviously, so one day when I was pulling up some spent plants a passer-by stopped and said 'see you're getting rid of them, must hate them like I do' he got a very short answer, leaning heavily on 'in remembrance of mum'. His face! But he didn't apologise, just walked away.
