Forget-Me-Not, Chinese, ‘Mystery Rose’

(Cynoglossum amabile) In a quest to offer more lovely and unique filler flowers, we stumbled upon these breathtaking, smoky pale pink beauties. Instant love of endless branches adorned with airy flower clusters that hold their blooms with remarkable tenacity from June through September. Beautiful in architecture (sturdy with no need for support), greenery, blooms, and a pollinator magnet to boot! Unfussy and floriferous. Long stems hold about a week and are best when cut in the cool of the day.  3’ tall/wide. Annual.
80-90 Days. UO

Packet: 75 seeds
