An excellent early season filler for mixed borders or as underplanting for spring flowering bulbs, loose clusters of delicate white flowers with yellow centres are held above lance-shaped, grey-green leaves from March. 'Mon Amie White' is ideal for pots and containers where it will attract pollinating insects too!
Forget-me-nots thrive in moist, well-drained soil and prefer partial shade. Water frequently during dry spells to maintain evenly moist soil. Deadhead spent blooms to promote continued flowering. These short-lived perennials are best grown as biennials or annuals but will self seed and spread if left untrimmed after flowering. Divide overcrowded clumps every 2-3 years after flowering to maintain vigour.
