An excellent choice for naturalizing
in woodland gardens, as a companion for spring bulbs, and in
rock gardens, forget-me-not bears beautiful, usually azure blue
flowers on plants that range in height from 5 to 12 inches. Pink
and white varieties are also available. Flowers appear in spring
and sporadically afterwards in summer.
This plant is technically a biennial
(blooms in its second year then dies) or short-lived perennial.
However, in nearly all conditions it reseeds so freely it produces
an ongoing supply year after year.

bright blue variety.
