Bushy plants smothered in bunches of glorious, 1" bright gentian-blue Forget-Me-Not type flowers. Both the leaves and flowers are edible and the bright-blue makes a splash in salads! Will bloom continuously into autumn if deadheaded. Excellent at the back of the border or to fill a gap - and will tolerate some shade. Fast, easy, drought- tolerant, snail- and deer-proof. Perennial zn 3-10 to 5' Approx 20 seeds per pack

Changing colored flowers |
| It is so hard to find a true blue flower. This one starts out pink violet and in the next day turns to blue. It is so beautiful to watch, especially when it is in mid change with purples and blues at the same time. This is a huge plant- taller than most people, so plant it in the back of the garden. On planting this in several locations, I have noticed that it does better in locations with more sunlight |
