Deciduous, rounded shrub in the 'lacecap' group. Gorgeous blue flower clusters up to 10" wide arrive in mid-summer and last into early fall! Fertile, lacy flowers in the middle are circled by larger, infertile showy flowers. Pruning should be done in late winter. Salt and heat tolerant.

Blaumeise' has bright blue lacecaps with stunning colour depth and longevity. The florets are square-shaped facing outward from the central fertile flower in a ring like a crown of flowers. Blooms well even after hard frost. Prefers protection from the hot sun. A superior large upright shrub with very dark foliage.

Blue Tit, British bird or frozen boobs its up to you, an indigo lacecap that is a classic.

Absolutely breathtaking in its beauty - Teller Blue In German "Teller" means "plate" and it describes perfectly this deep blue gorgeous flowering plant. The flower is very wide with darker colored tiny flowers in the center with large sterile flowers facing up around the outer edge. These deep blue or pink outer flowers will bow down as they age, eventually showing their red underside. The stout stems support a bounty of flower heads and luxuriant shiny and sturdy green leaves. We have dried the lacecap flowers from this plant for bouquets with great results.
