Introducing Cynoglossum amabile 'Firmament', also known as Chinese Hound's Tongue or Chinese Forget-Me-Not! This eye-catching ornamental plant, native to Asia, features lush dark blue flowers throughout the summer and thrives in hot, dry sun. It can be grown as an annual or biennial, and its dwarfish parent lends a charming touch to any garden. The species has over fifty variations, with small 5-petalled blue flowers growing profusely on straggly stems, and color variations frequent within species, including white or pink forms. Forget-me-nots prefer shade, and their seeds are found in small tulip-shaped pods along the stem to the flower. The pods attach to clothing when brushed against and eventually fall off, leaving the small seed inside to germinate elsewhere. Shop now and brighten up your garden with the stunning Cynoglossum amabile 'Firmament'!
