Myosotidium hortensia
Myosotidium hortensia
Arguably our most spectacular native herbaceous plant. Dormant in winter in colder districts, spring sees rapid growth of showy, shiny, veined, bright green leaves that are soon followed by intense blue flowers in large pyramidal heads up to 15cm wide. Very showy and a sight that will not disappoint.

An eye-stopper in spring and summer.
