    One of my favorite common names! Frothy “Venus’ Navelwort” bursts into a cloud of pure white “Forget Me Nots” above neat & attractive, low silvery foliage all Summer long. Easy & fast to bloom, it’s a reliable self-sower & delightful grown in front of roses. Self sown seedling are very drought tolerant. To 12”x 12”.
