Argentine Forget Me Not Seeds

Hardy Annual

Description

Iberodes linifolia syn. Omphalodes linifolia

The delicate white bloom and grey green foliage of Argentine Forget Me Nots are so very sweet. Similar to traditional forget me nots, the white flowers open up the stem and leave behind tiny, gray-green seed pods. The plants are short, averaging around 12", making them more suitable for compote designs and posies. The plants are compact and I typically harvest several "handfuls" to make a bunch of 15+ stems of varying heights. Despite its shorter nature, Argentine Forget Me Not is very popular with floral designers for wedding work.
