Omphalodes cappadocica (Cappadocian Navelwort)

Omphalodes cappadocica (Cappadocian Navelwort) is a clump-forming, evergreen perennial boasting charming sprays of white-eyed, bright blue flowers, reminiscent of forget-me-not, in spring. The brilliant, tiny flowers are highlighted against the finely hairy, ovate, emerald green leaves, 3-4 in. long (7-10 cm). Fast-growing, Cappadocian Navelwort will quickly form a vibrant carpet in shady areas of the garden. Ideal for a shady border to weave through shrubs and perennials or to hide the fading foliage of spring bulbs. Vigorous, plant it in large drifts to create a sea of blue.
