  • Upright perennial with panicles of blue, bell-shaped flowers
  • Great to brighten up sunny, dry spots--or try in a pot on the deck!

Gorgeous purple-blue flowers emerge throughout the summer on thin spikes. The green leaves are narrow and run along the stem. It is drought tolerant once established in the landscape and the flowers are attractive to hummingbirds. Also tolerant to dry, sandy or rocky soils. A great plant that adds bold color to the landscape.

Homeowner Growing Tips: Grow in full sun to light shade in well-drained, fertile soil. Amend with compost before planting. Deadhead after flowering. In cold climates, mulch for the winter.
