Omphalodes Argentine Forget Me Not

Iberodes linifolia syn. Omphalodes linifolia

The sweetest little flower and new to our farm.  Omphalodes are on the shorter side but the tiny little flowers and multiple branching stems make it lovely addition to any event work.  Bees love them too!  

Another note: they can be grown in full sun, but will grow taller if you plant in part shade.
