Chinese Forget-Me-Not ‘Ms. Marilyn’
Cynoglossum amabile
Description
Seed for this special variety came from our friends at 3 Porch Farm, who discovered it in a packet of wildflower seeds and spent years carefully growing it out until they perfected the color. Plants are tall, vigorous, extremely productive, and covered in the softest smoky periwinkle-blue flowers. Pollinators love this variety, especially bumblebees, and it’s truly one of the most beautiful little flowers I’ve ever grown.
