Japanese Primrose

Primula japonica 'Miller's Crimson'

(PRIM-yew-luh) (juh-PON-ih-kuh)

Forget-Me-Not

Myosotis sylvatica

(my-oh-SO-tis) (sil-VAT-ee-kuh)

It was kind of a happy accident to have these flowers line up together. The garden is literally covered with the Primroses in spring after we have been gently encouraging into seeding in various areas. The Forget me nots are left over from a huge patch we grew a couple of years ago from seed. It is a classic combination that started out from a dozen Primroses and a big bag of seed that someone gave me. The flowers look a lot better than mulch and have been colonizing a lot of tough wet areas.
