Forget-Me-Not - Victoria Blue Dwarf

$1.89

The Forget-Me-Not Victoria Blue, 'Myosotis sylvatica compacta', is a superior strain of one of the earliest spring bloomers. Not many plants bloom well in the shade, but Victoria Blue prefers it. The Victoria Blue Forget-Me-Not has numerous 1/3 inch flowers that are petite, blue star-shaped and with a white center. The flowers rise gracefully above neat, low growing mounds. They bloom in early spring for 2 to 4 weeks. The Victoria Blue prefers partial sun to partial shade. The soil should be light, rich, and well drained. They should be kept evenly moist and they should not dry out. Plant in early spring or in or late summer/early fall. The Forget-Me-Nots are excellent for woodland settings and for an early splash of color in moist shady areas. ... get more information

Oxypetalum - Heavenly Blue The intense glacier blue 1 inch flowers are unlike anything you've ever seen. Even the buds are unique with their pale lavender color. The Southern Star also attracts hummingbirds. Heavenly Blue produces very decorative seed pods and they can be overwintered as a houseplant. The Heavenly Blue prefers full sun and fairly rich garden soil. Deadheading the spent flowers before fruit set will prolong the bloom time. Plant after all danger of frost has passed. The Southern Star provides a most unusual cut flower. They also are great in patio containers or hanging baskets.
