    Cornflowers,  Alliums,  Borage.

    As others said, Brunnera looks similar. And couldn't be without cornflowers. 

    There are some gorgeous blue salvias- though possibly too dark for you? Blue Skies, Victoria, Balloon Azul (sp)- Also this cute pale blue one:


    And others

    I love the blue of blue love-in-a-mist (nigella) most of all, but its season (May, June) probably overlaps with forget-me-nots too much for your purposes.

    I’ve just bought some aquilegias which are a colour match!
    Wirral. Sandy, free draining soil.

    Brunnera is a great blue like forget me nots but with us it is in flower now not the summer. Still a great plant to have.

    I don't know why but when I typed my reply no one else had posted. Ooops.
    Never mind.
    Thanks about the Brunnera @bertrand-mabel as I have only just  bought it recently it is flowering now and I did not know how long it flowered for.

    Some of the campanulas like it dry and your kind of soil.
    There is a pretty pale blue not quite Forget me, Double flowers very cute.   I grow it but forgotten the name!


  • Thank you everyone for your super helpful replies. Always hard to tell from looking at Google but I think I'm going to experiment with the Nemesia Blue Gem, Cambridge Blue Campanula and the Beyond Blue Salvia (I'm a big salvia fan in general!). Would you believe it, I actually have some Miss Jekyll Nigella seeds which I got free, so I'm going to sow those tomorrow too!

    Thanks again for all the super helpful replies  :)

    Now we just need a bit of sun  :#
