Omphalodes cappadocica ‘Parisian Skies’
at Digging Dog
Navelwort
A favorite of Marie Antoinette’s, these endearing forget-me-not–like flowers claim their name from the navel-shaped groove that marks each seed. Omphalodes are members of the Borage family, preferring moist soils but tolerant of dry conditions when grown in shade. They can take full sun where summers are temperate and need dappled light elsewhere. Slowly spreading by underground stems, let this lovely and leafy evergreen ground cover enhance the edge of the woods or a rock garden with spring bulbs and Ajuga not far away. Omphalodes cappadocica ‘Parisian Skies’ 
And you thought you had to travel all the way to France to enjoy a Parisian sky! Enchanting, just like the cultivar name suggests, this Omphalodes hosts a profusion of blooms in luminous bleu d’azur hues above a leafy base of foliage. Bring European appeal to your woodland trail and try
‘Parisian Skies’ en masse with Pulmonaria ‘Excalibur’ nearby.
Blooms April–June. Size: 10" high x 15" wide; hardy to zone 6. Omphalodes cappadocica ‘Parisian Skies’ (P-0961)
