This lovely forget-me-not flowers in loose clusters above lance-shaped, grey-green foliage starting in early spring. The delicate pale powder blue blooms feature cheerful yellow eyes. Excellent as an edging plant along paths or underplanted among spring bulbs, 'Mon Amie Blue' is also a stunning springtime plant for the front of mixed borders, herbaceous plantings, or wildflower gardens.
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.
