Chinese forget-me-not
Cynoglossum amabile
Varieties
3 entriesCynoglossum amabile is commonly treated as a cool-season annual, although its life cycle varies with climate.
Flowers and foliage
Small blue flowers accompany hairy foliage, and suitable conditions allow ready self-seeding. Long, hot summers can shorten the flowering season. Despite its common name, it belongs to a different genus from Myosotis forget-me-nots.
Firmament and colour references
Firmament, Mystic Pink and White provide separate references for resellers. Firmament is documented with scalloped petals; its traits should remain attached to that selection.
