Delicate pale pink flowers with bright yellow centres appear from early spring in loose clusters above lance-shaped, grey-green leaves. 'Mon Amie Pink' can be used to great effect as a frothing layer beneath tulips or as a seasonal filler in mixed borders during the spring season.
Forget-me-nots thrive in moist, well-drained soil and prefer partial shade. Water frequently during dry spells to maintain evenly moist soil. Deadhead spent blooms to promote continued flowering. These short-lived perennials are best grown as biennials or annuals but will self seed and spread if left untrimmed after flowering. Divide overcrowded clumps every 2-3 years after flowering to maintain vigour.
