This classic wildflower is known throughout much of the world for the shape of the leaf, indeed the Latin name comes from the Greek for "mouse's ear". The foot-high plants are covered by multiple clusters of 5 petaled light blue flowers with yellow centers. The blooms are less than an inch across and will appear throughout the summer. This waterside plant thrives on plenty of moisture. The legend is that a knight was picking a bouquet for his beloved from a stream - as he was swept away by the water he tossed her the flowers saying "forget me not". Self-seeds.
