Nursery contributed plant descriptions

That most rare of flower colors, pure cobalt blue, is found in spades here. Cultivated since the late 17th century, it has starry rings colored white and yellow, etched on a deep blue trumpet-shaped flower. A low growing gem for the front of the garden, pretty with sweet alyssum and Chinese-forget-me-not 'Chill Out'.
