Description
(Myosotis alpestris). Don’t forget about these charming azure blooms. Bellamy Blue was a Fleuroselect Gold Medal Winner in 2022 for being the earliest of all the blue Myosotis to bloom. This short and compact forget-me-not is simply stunning with its dense clusters of small sapphire blooms that brighten up garden borders, pots, and patios from spring through to early summer. Unlike most biennials, these flowers will bloom the same year when started indoors in advance. The short-growing plants average 7 to 8 inches tall, making them compact and easily manageable no matter the size of the garden. True blue flowers are a rare occurrence in nature, as only a handful of plant species produce naturally occurring blue pigments. Forget-me-nots attract bees, butterflies, hoverflies, moths, beetles, and flies due to their nectar-rich flowers.
