To Moni-two less common recommended blue flowers
by: Ferne, Kamloops

To Moni,
I have a large collection of blue flowers in a dry 5B zone. If you are looking for more and haven't tried a large flowered perennial Scabiosa, (Pin Cushion Flower), I can highly recommend that one. There is more than one type, so you will have to check the variety. I deadhead it so it will bloom from mid summer right into September most years. Very graceful and easy to grow. Another favourite is "Monch" Aster. Showy lavender blue, mid-tall daisies galore from mid summer to late fall and also extremely easy....just keeps on bloomin'. Doesn't seed but both can be easily divided.

Beautiful blue

Blue flowers are not easy to find in the garden. Glad to know this is invasive. I was looking at purchasing an Echium but it was not hardy in zone 5. Perhaps that is a good thing and would be another blue flower for me to plant. I love cool blue flowers.
