This is a very attractive plant. Much tidier than the traditional garden forget-me-nots. I haven't been able to find record of successful horticultural application.

A low, cushion-like plant with deep blue flowers just above the fuzzy, tufted leaves.

Found in open, rocky places high in the mountains from Alaska south through northeastern Oregon and western Montana to northern Mexico.
