Firmament (Chinese Forget-Me-Not) Flower, 1939 Heirloom

Firefly Farm & Mercantile's Firmament is a friendly companion in the garden as it helps to revitalize old and dry soils.  It provides cover to young perennials. Once the perennials establish themselves, this flower often dies back. It is also known as Chinese Forget-Me-Not or Hound’s Tongue. It was introduced in America by Ernst Benary and received an AAS in 1939. Hardy annual, 14-16" tall.
