The very similar looking woodland forget-me-not (Myosotis sylvatica) and alpine forget-me-not (Myosotis alpestris) are easier garden plants and are not ecologically invasive here.
Not all exotic plants that naturalize are considered invasive, but the water forget-me-not is one that is.

I've had this planted for about 4 years, but this year, because it has been an unusually wet year, it has popped up everywhere I didn't want it.
