This delightful plant which is highly celebrated in folklore is easy to grow and produces a carpet of tiny blue flowers.
Not only does it provide early colour for borders and wild areas, but it makes an attractive groundcover between spring flowering bulbs. Flowering the year after sowing, the plant’s foliage is bright green and provides the perfect canvas for these small blooms.
