Description

Omphalodes cappadocica 'Cherry Ingram' is a perennial that forms pendant terminal clusters from April to May, measuring 15 to 25cm (6 to 10in) in length. These clusters are composed of three to twelve flowers with 5 petals, measuring 5 to 7mm (0in) in diameter and of a deep blue colour. The flowers have long pedicels and are arranged in elongated cymes. The 'Cherry Ingram' variety is more compact.

Closely related to the small forget-me-not, Omphalodes cappadocica is of interest in spring. It prefers partial shade and is a woodland perennial. This plant, native to Turkey, has excellent hardiness.

Its basal, persistent green leaves form slowly spreading clumps. They measure 5 to 10cm (2 to 4in) in length and are ovate in shape, with fine tips and heart-shaped bases. The mature plant reaches a height of up to 25cm (10in).

Planting and care

Omphalodes cappadocica appreciates partial shade. Place it in a fresh, moderately fertile, humus-bearing and fairly light soil. It can be planted in both a rather dry and slightly chalky soil as well as in a heavy, clayey and acidic soil. It tolerates a less fresh soil. This young plant is very easy to grow and does not require any particular care. At the end of winter, remove the foliage that has been damaged by the cold and rain so that the plant can shine at the beginning of spring. Do not divide the clump until it is established. Beware of snails and slugs that appreciate it.
