    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Absolute rock hardy jewel from Lebanon and Syria. This is perfect for our area as it is winter growing and summer dormant so can take our dry summers. Blooms in late spring with lots of lavender-blue flowers on stems up to 18" and after flowering it disappears until Fall. Not often available.
