A favorite among spring-bloomers, Forget-me-nots cast their true-blue hue from tiny soft-blue flowers, each with a tiny yellow eye. This variety forms a low mound of attractive grey-green leaves topped with clusters of flowers. This is an excellent plant for massing with spring-blooming bulbs. These are biennials, or short-lived perennials, that self-seed to come back for many years. Forget-Me-Not is the state flower of Alaska.
