Nursery contributed plant descriptions

The quickest route possible to a high impact explosion of true-blue, 1.5” flowers! So bright & so numerous, together they create a solid mass of bouncy, sky blue blooms on slender branching stems to 20” tall & 18” across late Spring through mid Summer. Easy & very fast, they should start blooming within a month at the latest! Well-drained soil with compost. Cut back for a second round of bloom. It loves cool weather conditions and is easy to grow as long as it’s not in clay. Self sows!
