Nursery contributed plant descriptions

I would be so sad if someone ever took my “German Catchfly” away! It’s one of the most beautiful annuals of all. ‘Blue Pearl’ is the taller version & much preferred by me to the shorter version, as it’s more informal, useful in the garden & sways with the breeze. To 2’ tall & 2' wide, it forms many slender multi-branching stems & bears a mass of single, lavender-blue, 1” blooms for several months. Delightful in the garden & as a cut flower. Rich soil is best. Choice in a pot.
