Cynoglossum amabile 'Ms. Marilyn'
A truly beautiful lavender Forget-Me-Not bred by 3 Porch Farm. Here is what they have to say about it, in their own words:
This lavender Forget-Me-Not came to us by surprise. Named after our dearest friend and family member, Ms Marilyn sprung up as one single plant in a sea of the traditional blue Forget-Me-Nots. At her celebration of life, we were all given packets of wildflower seeds to plant in her memory, and true to form, one flower stood out from all the rest. A unique and beautiful flower that lit Mandy up when she discovered it, just like Marilyn lit up every room she ever entered with her beautiful smile and buoyant spirit. We saved the seed of this unique flower and selected for this color year after year (5 years), weeding out the common blue and only breeding the lavender. For the last 3 years we've had 100% true genetics and now we want to share this beautiful flower with the world.
Ms. Marilyn makes a wonderful cut flower or it can be left in the garden to attract pollinators and highlight other plants you have growing. Save the seeds and pass on to your dearest friends and family. Let's spread the love!
