Omphalodes verna (common names Navelwort or Blue-eyed Mary) is a perennial plant native to Central and South-east Europe.
This species can spread quickly, and can reach 8 to 12 inches in height. The plant has a stem that snakes across the ground, giving it the alternative name creeping forget-me-not, and typically grows in the shade of trees. It is typically hard to uproot and by some accounts may even be invasive, but mostly coexists with other plants well.
