forget me nots

this spring my garden borders were filled with forget me nots.  a gardening friend shared many plants with me last year, and i have been thrilled to enjoy these flowers in particular.  some gardeners may find them too difficult to manage, but i have large border areas that needed to be filled with flowers, such as these low growing and long lasting forget me nots. they have lovely blue flowers and are a wonderful border ground cover.

i enjoyed them tremendously, and have encouraged them to spread into thicker flower borders. So, i almost can't wait until next year to see how they have grown.  in one year, they did so very well in my zone 5 garden.
