Discover the timeless allure of Cynoglossum amabile 'Firmament', commonly known as the Firmamnet Chinese Forget-Me-Not. Introduced to gardens in 1935 and distinguished as an AAS Winner, 'Firmament' captivates with its enchanting true-blue, star-shaped flowers atop fuzzy, lance-shaped leaves. This charming and nostalgic variety is renowned as the best blue forget-me-not for cut flowers, producing tall, uniform plants that yield long, sturdy stems ideal for bouquets. With regular deadheading, 'Firmament' provides a continuous display of clustered sky-blue blooms throughout summer and into fall, enhancing any cottage garden or floral arrangement.

Perfect for warm-season planting, 'Firmament' thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, achieving heights of 24–36 inches. While hardy in zones 6 and south, it adapts as a perennial, biennial, or cool weather annual depending on the climate. Extremely pollinator-friendly, the flowers attract bees and butterflies, supporting garden biodiversity. Despite its self-seeding tendencies, which some consider weedy, 'Firmament' delivers a soft, inviting aesthetic ideal for borders and wildflower patches. In warmer regions, ensure partial afternoon shade to maximize performance. Immerse your garden in the sky-blue charm of Cynoglossum amabile 'Firmament' and relish the endless beauty it brings to your outdoor sanctuary.
