About this plant
This old garden favourite is unfailingly popular. It is also unfailingly present once it has seeded. It will tend to establish itself in the gardens of one's neighbours as well. The plant produces masses of tiny cornflower-blue or pink flowers with yellow centres in spring. They are extremely pretty. The foliage is medium-green with oval matt leaves that form neat rosettes over the winter.

Water to keep the soil moist
For best results, this plant needs soil that is always moist. Water deeply and regularly as soon as soil appears dry. Even for established plants in the ground, a dry week can cause problems with some soils. Check plants in pots more often, especially in hot weather. Or install an automatic irrigation system which will do the hard work for you, even when you are away on holiday.
Without regular watering some plants never fully regain their beauty.
