Stunning lagoon blue flowers that are white flecked appear from late spring. The flowers have a deliciously peppery scent and look fabulous planted with purple and pink flowering plants. Great for the middle or back of a garden border or can be planted up for pots on the patio. Remember to deadhead after flowering and protect against frost-damage by covering the crown of the plant.
Garden care: Stake with bamboo canes in spring before the flowers appear and deadhead the faded blooms to encourage a second flush of flowers. Protect young plants from slug and snail attack.
