Myosotis 'Indigo Blue'

This classic blue forget-me-not, ever-popular in gardens, will give sheets of piercing blue in spring and summer and can tolerate both sun and shade. In 15th-century Germany, it was supposed that the wearers of the flower would not be forgotten by their lovers. Legend has it that in medieval times, a knight and his lady were walking along the side of a river. He picked a posy of flowers, but then, because of the weight of his armour he fell into the river. As he was drowning he threw the posy to his loved one, shouting "Forget-me-not." It was often worn by ladies as a sign of faithfulness and enduring love. (Vergissmeinnicht in German)
