Other
Fragrant blooms! Forget-Me-Nots will always hold an old fashioned charm. Their name Myostis, means mouse's ear in Greek, yet, they are best known by their common, French name ne m'oubliez pas (forget me not). Most of the blooms come in blue, but some may also come in paler, even white coloration. Perfect for woodland, lake side, cottage, herbaceous border, and any other garden site, that gets little Sun, and retains moist soil. Great plant for attracting bees, and butterflies.
