Forget Me Nots are one of the most recognisable and nostalgic wildflowers, creating a delicate carpet of soft blue blooms in spring and early summer.
Perfect for shadier corners of the garden, woodland-style planting and underplanting bulbs, these charming flowers gently self-seed and return year after year. Rich in symbolism and often associated with remembrance, devotion and enduring affection, they bring a timeless cottage garden feel wherever they grow.
Easy to establish and loved by pollinators, Forget Me Nots are ideal for creating naturalistic drifts beneath trees, along pathways or in partially shaded borders.
