I wish I had heard of this beautiful flower before!
I have never even heard of this flower until seeing it listed in US Perennials and thought I would try it because it is so pretty. It arrived in a 4" pot filled with healthy and appropriately moist soil to sustain it during shipping. It immediately took to the bed I planted it in and is lush and green and healthy. I am looking forward to the blue blooms that will look nice with the apricot colored roses and Avens Wet Kiss Geums that will be it's new neighbors.
