This lovely mix of part shade-loving flowers gives you an extended bloom period. M. Sylvatica is the traditional, 6"-8" tall forget-me-not that blooms in early spring and is perennial in USDA zones 3-8. Chinese forget-me-not (C. amabile), an annual, while not a true forget-me-not, has very similar flowers but grows 12"-24" tall and will bloom into summer. Excellent for moist, part-shade areas, as a bulb cover or early cover for rock gardens.
