Notes
'Myosotis' Spanish bluebell (Hyacinthoides hispanica 'Myosotis') is a bulb for borders, containers, rock gardens, and woodland gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. The porcelain blue flowers have sky blue midribs and open on broad spikes in early to late spring. It sits low on the menu for deer. It forms a clump and grows at a rapid pace.
Pairs well with Carlton daffodil, August Moon hosta, and Western sword fern.
