Easy to grow, some flowers were white but it's not a problem.

Description

Baby blue eyes nemophila is an annual ground cover plant with a multitude of small sky-blue flowers with white centres.

This fast-growing annual elegantly dresses up borders and moist rockeries, and makes a good ground cover. It is one of the few annuals that tolerate both partial shade and full sun. It is compact, not exceeding 20cm (8in) high.

It is easy to grow and the seeds can be sown directly in the ground or pots.

Cats like its scent and regularly come to roll in tufts of nemophila.
