Thanks spider, from what I've read so far it's shade tolerant and is derived from Forget-me-nots. No, it's not derived from Forget-me-nots - wherever you read that is giving misleading information. Forget-me-nots are plants in the genus Myosotis, which is a genus of plants in the Borage family. Omphalodes is a separate genus in the same family. So they're related to forget-me-nots, but certainly not derived from them -- Kay |

I tried several times, unsuccessfully, to root bits of it. Mother's gone now, an probably so has the plant! Pam in Bristol |
