Omphalodes Seeds

The Omphalodes genus, commonly known as Navelwort or Blue-eyed Mary, is a charming and delicate member of the Boraginaceae family. These low-growing perennials are celebrated for their dainty, star-shaped flowers in shades of blue or white, which bloom in early spring, creating a carpet of colour in shaded or woodland gardens. Omphalodes adds a soft, naturalistic touch to borders, rockeries, and underplantings. Native to Europe, Asia, and North America, Omphalodes thrives in moist, well-drained soils and prefers partially shaded to fully shaded locations. These easy-care plants are perfect for naturalising in woodland settings or as ground cover. Popular species such as Omphalodes verna , or Creeping Navelwort, are particularly admired for their spreading habit and bright, sky-blue blooms. The Omphalodes genus combines beauty, adaptability, and low-maintenance care, making it a perfect choice for gardeners seeking delicate, shade-loving plants that bring early-season colour to their landscapes.
