Cynoglossum amabile

Blue flowers are rather rare at Floramama, but these have a special place in our gardens. In addition to blooming in the first year, unlike other forget-me-not varieties, these are uniform and produce a beautiful first crop of long, sturdy stems followed by a second abundant crop of branching side shoots. The delicate sapphire-colored flowers are very attractive to bees.
