From April to June, the sky-blue flowers of the Caucasus forget-me-not, which tolerates pruning, reveal themselves. A beautiful contrast of light and dark is created high above the heart-shaped foliage. But the spectacle of flowers does not appear equally well at every location…
The Caucasus forget-me-not prefers partially shaded locations
Prefers to grow in semi-shade
Well-known varieties such as 'Jack Frost' as well as insider tips such as 'King's Ransom'® prefer to grow in partial shade. Locations that are not exposed to direct sunlight are well suited, for example at the edge of trees and water. But this plant can also feel at home in a perennial bed.
Substrate properties and suitable plant neighbors
The substrate should be moist, nutritious and acidic. A sandy-loamy soil is ideal. Then the Caucasus forget-me-not also likes to make friends with plant neighbors like
- primroses
- daffodils
- Waldsteinia
- hosts
- ferns
tips
The wetter the soil, the more sun the Caucasus forget-me-not can tolerate and the less care it needs.
