Anyone know why it's not available in seed form?

It is not forget-me-not, which is Myosotis.

It is an F1 hybrid, so does not necessarily bred true. Best thing to do
is find someone who has a large clump and beg some offsets.


Yes you are correct, there are numerous references on the web to
"forget-me-not like flowers". According to Graham Rice of the RHS, the
breeder is Chris Ghyselen from Belgium and not Holland, as I first thought.
