CYNOGLOSSUM SEEDS

The Cynoglossum genus, commonly known as Hound’s Tongue, is a fascinating member of the Boraginaceae family. These herbaceous biennials or perennials are admired for their clusters of small, bell-shaped flowers in shades of blue, purple, or white, which bloom in late spring and summer. Cynoglossum adds a natural, meadow-like charm to gardens, borders, and wildflower plantings.

Native to temperate regions of Europe, Asia, and North America, Cynoglossum thrives in well-drained soils and sunny to partially shaded locations. These drought-tolerant plants are suited to informal and naturalistic garden designs. Species such as Cynoglossum officinale, or Common Hound’s Tongue, are known for their historical use in traditional medicine, while Cynoglossum amabile, or Chinese Forget-Me-Not, is particularly popular for its bright blue flowers and suitability for cut flower arrangements.

The Cynoglossum genus combines understated beauty and resilience, making it an excellent choice for gardeners seeking plants that bring wildflower charm to their landscapes.
