Blue flowers accent aromatic grayish-white foliage in mid to late summer. Grows 3-4 ft. tall with a shrublike form. Terrific at the back of a garden border. Can really take the heat! Best in full sun.

Comments: One of the best-loved natives. Loose flower clusters arise from the axils of the leaves and stem. This woodlander looks especially attractive planted next to ferns. The ferns can do double duty by filling in when the Virginia Bluebells dieback during the hot summer days.

Plant in full sun & ignore
Reviewed By: Victoria (Albuquerque, NM)
These plants thrive in full sun, poor clay soil with rare watering. I do nothing except butcher them in spring back to prctically nothing, and they regrow to intense splendor by summer. If conditions are 'right' they can become invasive. In partial shade I have had no success with them. Mulch with gravel, plant near driveway & street, and enjoy :)

Fabulous!
Reviewed By: Gretchen (Corning, NY)
I ordered three of these from Gurney's last spring, and three from another company. The three from Gurney's grew about two feet over the summer and bloomed continuously (the bees love them). The three from the 'other' company all died. Also, the ones from Gurney's were much larger when they first arrived.

Heat tolerant
Reviewed By: Deb (Norfolk, VA)
I ordered these from Gurney's this spring. My front yard is very hot & sunny and they took it like champs. Long lasting bloom (Oct 1 and they are just now beginning to fade). They don't need much watering and do almost as well in partial shade. Highly recommended if you need a reliable heat and dought tolerant plant.
