Cynoglossum amabile “Mystic Rose” – Chinese Forget-me-nots (light pink)

Cynoglossum amabile Mystic Pink. 

This annual should not be confused with the common biennial forget-me-not. Chinese forget-me-nots produce masses of stems with delicate pink flowers and are also much taller than the common forget-me-not. 

This is not the easiest to germinate, so be sure to sow enough! But it’s worth persevering because this plant will keep flowering for about 6 weeks—if you can keep up with the cutting.
