Firmament Cynoglossum Seed

Item #HSC-CYN-001-PKT

True-blue forget-me-nots for cutting.

Tall, even plants give a strong first cut of long, sturdy stems, then plenty of branching side stems, all covered in small sky-blue flowers.

Bees love it. Firmament won an All-America Selections award in 1939. Also called Chinese forget-me-not or Chinese hound’s tongue.

Flowers about 80–85 days from sowing, on plants 24–36" tall. Open-pollinated.
