Forget-me-not (White)

Beautiful and dainty, Forget-me-nots are a classic springtime cottage garden flower, and now we also sell them in white, these provide wonderful ground cover and look glorious amongst wallflowers and tulips in spring.

Once they have flowered, leave the plants in place and allow the seeds to fall naturally. Leave to overwinter and then relocate the new little seedlings to where you want them early the following spring.
