Item #1816

Perennial. Blooms late spring to late summer. 1'-2' tall and 1' wide. Blooms best in full sun. The drought resistant clusters of these 3/4" sky-blue flowers on airy, delicate, gracefully arching branches last 6 weeks. This is the variety discovered by the Lewis & Clark expedition in 1805. We are proud to offer this seed, that was originally collected from plants found growing in Maple Grove, Utah and selected for outstanding vigor and beauty. It blooms longest in cool coastal summers, but is drought-tolerant and reliable in other areas. Requires well-drained soil. Excellent addition to naturalized wildflower areas, rock gardens, or the border. Looks best when planted in mass. Very easy to grow!

When to plant outside: RECOMMENDED. 4 to 6 weeks before average last frost or as soon as the soil can be worked, or in fall for germination the following spring.

When to start inside: Not recommended. Does not transplant well. Start outdoors in final plant location.
