Navelwort is a delightful, low-spreading plant, perfect for growing in shady corners. It flowers in spring and early summer, producing masses of small, sky-blue blooms similar to those of forget-me-nots. It's the perfect companion plant for late-spring bulbs and perennials.
'Cherry Ingram' forms a low-growing mound of mid-green foliage, which is topped with starry, bright-blue blooms.
For best results grow Omphalodes cappadocica 'Cherry Ingram' in moist but well-drained soil in sun to partial shade, and avoid disturbing them once they've become established. Divide clumps only when they become overcrowded; plants should self-seed readily.
