Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A tip of the garden cap to Joseph Tychonievich, who has shared his shorter, stronger-stemmed native pitcher sage with us. Blends with fall anemones, asters and hardy chrysanthemums wonderfully, and the limpid sky blue hue is so rare and lovely! Grow in well-drained regular soils for the best habit; stake early with twiggy brush in more organic soils. Starter plant.
