Description:

8” x 8-10” wide (seed propagated). This beautiful, small growing species is native to the open Ponderosa forests and foothills of eastern CO and WY. The dainty spikes of blue, lavender-throated flowers are held over evergreen rosettes of dark green foliage and are a delight in the late spring garden. Most effective in groups of three or more. Really nice placed alongside yellow-flowered wildflowers like Eriogonum ‘Shasta Sulfur’. Plant in lean, well-drained soil.

Zones 4-8

Special Notes:

Plant with Calylophus serrulatus and Achillea serbica!
