Nursery contributed plant descriptions

An improved version of a great perennial from Terra Nova, good sized violet blue flowers top upright stems to 3’ May to September, clumps eventually 3’ wide. Whereas the species tends to wander a bit and flop, Blue Dragon is tighter and stands up better. Loves a hot, sunny spot in soils with decent drainage, drought tolerant, deer resistant. Great BEE plant! Pair it with Crocosmia!

Our selection of this catmint has huge blue flowers, which upon close inspection, do look like blue dragon heads! Compared to the species, 'Blue Dragon' is upright and compact (rather than floppy) with larger, showier flowers. Excellent in a sunny border or large container.
