Description

Cynoglossum (Chinese Forget-Me-Not) is a charming heirloom annual prized for its airy sprays of delicate, sky-blue flowers. Resembling true forget-me-nots but easier to grow, this variety creates a soft, cloud-like effect in garden beds, borders, and wildflower plantings.

Its branching stems and abundant blooms make it an excellent filler for fresh bouquets, adding a light, natural touch to arrangements. Blooming over an extended period, Cynoglossum is also a favorite of pollinators and brings a gentle, meadow-like feel to any space.

• Type: Heirloom annual
• Direct sow: Early spring or fall in mild climates
• Sun: Full sun to partial shade
• Spacing: 6–9 inches
• Height: 18–24 inches

Best direct sown, as plants establish quickly and do not require transplanting. Prefers cool conditions and well-drained soil. Keep soil evenly moist during germination, then water moderately once established. Deadheading can extend the blooming period and encourage continued flower production.
