DamavandPro Chinese Forget Me Nots Seeds: Cynoglossum Amabile Blue

From DamavandPro, Cynoglossum amabile (Chinese Forget-Me-Not) seeds are a popular choice for gardeners and flower farmers who want delicate sprays of tiny blue blooms in the same year they are sown. Resembling forget-me-nots, this bushy annual or biennial produces funnel-shaped, sky-blue flowers from late spring to the first frost, making it a natural fit for cutting gardens and floral arrangements.

Easy to propagate, the seeds can be sown in situ in spring. Cynoglossum amabile grows best in moderately fertile, moist, well-drained soil in sun, and appreciates some afternoon shade in hot summer climates. It suits a wide range of planting styles, from beds and borders to cottage gardens, rock gardens, prairies and meadows, and will freely self-seed in the garden. The plant is described as virtually pest and disease free, though it is worth watching for powdery mildews; cut back after flowering.
