Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This shrub-like perennial offers elegant grey-green and cream mounds foliage and warm purple flowers with almost continuous bloom from spring to fall. Sheer lightly when flowering slows or when flower stems become too long. Rebloom will start shortly thereafter. Wallflowers have a reputation for being short-lived in Vancouver. For long-lived, compact specimens plant them in a hot, dry, sunny spot in the garden.
