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.

  1. OMPHALODES CAPPADOCICA

    Rarely seen or offered, and exceedingly beautiful, "Blue-eyed Mary" is one of the most desirable spring plants. Sprays of bright blue flowers on darker stems open from earliest spring to early summer, over a slowly creeping, but staying compact, semi evergreen carpet of shiny leaves. It is fabulous in a damp shady corner, but will perform well in most aspects. Viable seed falls of quickly and is very rarely offered as little is produced, so we collect every seed here! (R.H.S.

  2. OMPHALODES LINIFOLIA

    A quite spectacular small plant with grey-green leaves, above which arise profuse sprays of faintly sweet-scented, pure white, golden-eyed flowers all summer long. This lovely thing will very gently self-seed around the garden but never, ever becomes a nuisance here! Unsurprisingly it is an 'AGM' Award Winner. ... Learn More
