Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A sport of 'Heavenly Blue' that has become rare.Described as new in Vaughan's 1949 catalog, 'Blue Star' has powder-blue flowers with a darker blue star radiating from the center of the 4” trumpet-shaped blooms. The large flowers bloom earlier in summer and stay open much later than other varieties! Combine with 'Flying Saucers' on arbors, fences, and light posts. Cannot ship to AZ.
