Chinese Forget-Me-Not
Resembling forget-me-nots, Cynoglossum amabile (Chinese Forget-Me-Not) is a bushy annual or biennial with beautiful sprays of funnel-shaped sky-blue flowers from late spring to the first frost. Blooming in the first year from seed, they are borne on stems that elongate as successive blossoms appear. The stems are clothed with hairy lance-shaped gray-green leaves. Chinese Forget-Me-Not is typically grown as a cool weather annual plant and may decline in summer in hot and humid summer climates and stop blooming.
