Aren't these big blue "powder puff" blooms just lovely? They add so much to the landscape.
If they only had fragance they'd be perfect. This is another low maintainance plant for me.
I mulch them once a year with pine needles and keep them well watered. They bloom beautifully
year after year.
I would like to try a new variety called "Royal Red" but haven't found it in a garden shop around here yet. I may have to end up ordering it by mail.

These are very easy to grow from seeds.
