Cynoglossum amabile 'Firmament', commonly known as Chinese Forget-Me-Not, is an enchanting annual garden plant that appeals to both cottage garden enthusiasts and modern flower border designs. This variety is known for its profusion of flowers, strikingly large blooms, and intense sky-blue color that immediately catches the eye. Thanks to its vigorous growth, long flowering period, and versatile uses, 'Firmament' is one of the most beloved varieties in the Cynoglossum genus.
Cynoglossum amabile 'Firmament' is an exceptionally user-friendly plant that produces excellent results even for novice gardeners. This species forms a compact yet airy shrub with a height of approximately 50–60 cm, ideal for both large and small gardens. The leaves are softly hairy, gray-green, and lance-shaped, creating a beautiful contrast with the bright flowers.
What makes 'Firmament' so appealing is its exuberant blooms. The flowers are very similar to those of the common forget-me-not, but are noticeably larger and firmer, making them even more striking in the border. The blooms range in color from pure sky blue to soft azure, a color rarely seen so intensely in annuals.
One of the biggest advantages of Cynoglossum amabile 'Firmament' is its long flowering period. From the moment the first flowers appear, the plant typically continues to bloom well into summer, and often even longer under favorable conditions.
This variety is particularly suitable for cutting. Thanks to its sturdy stems and long-lasting flowers, you can cut them for a long time. The ideal harvest time begins when the first flowers open; the more you cut, the more new flower stems the plant will form.
If you sow the plants early, you can encourage a second flush of blooms after the first flowering period. This can be achieved by lightly cutting back the plants after flowering. With sufficient soil moisture, the plants will regrow and bloom profusely again.
'Firmament' is a versatile plant that fits well in a variety of garden designs. Its 50–60 cm height makes it ideal for:
soft filling between perennials
eye-catcher in a cottage border
flower for natural picking gardens
filler in pots and large containers
combination plant with white, purple or pastel-colored varieties
The sky-blue flowers provide a soothing and fresh splash of color, making them a beautiful addition to silver-leaved plants, grasses, and other summer bloomers.
