- / per
Attractive for butterflies and other pollinators. Blue flowers suitable for natural landscaping. Use for low maintenance plantings. Moderate self-sowing at suitable locations. Enjoys a damp location or average soil, but not overly dry. Flowers the first year from an early sowing.
Height: 120 cm, 47"
Type: Perennial
Hardiness zones: 3-8
Location: Sun or part shade
Seeds per packet: 30
Sow just under the surface of the soil and water in. Leave them at room temperature for 4 weeks. This helps break the phytohormones which inhibit germination. They will not grow yet. Then a cooling period is required. Cover them with plastic and place in a fridge for 6 weeks. Be sure they stay moist. After the cold stratification period they are then brought back to a cool room (15-18C, 59-68F) for them to germinate. Germination can be erratic, generally 30-90 days after the warming period, though some can take longer.
