Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This hard to find form of Threadleaf Blue Star creeps and spills, rather than forming upright clumps. It is tolerant of dry conditions and would be useful atop a retaining wall or in a rock garden. Pale blue starry flowers in spring with always attractive foliage which turns brilliant gold in the fall. Image courtesy of Walters Garden, until we can get a good pic of our own.
