Description
Cupid’s Dart (Catananche caerulea) is a popular perennial wildflower from the Mediterranean regions of southern Europe, enjoyed for its lavender-blue flowers from mid-summer into early fall. The common name, Cupid’s Dart, is derived from its use by the early Greeks and Romans to make love potions. Best grown in loose, well-draining soil that has a balance of loam and sand, with medium moisture. Avoid unamended heavy clay soils and wet soils, especially in winter. Plants do not perform well in the heat and humidity of the deep South. Recommended companion plant for Shasta Daisy (Chrysanthemum), White Coneflower (Echinacea purpurea), and summer-blooming Alliums.

A hardy plant
"Purchased based on the feathery fronds and the spikey, purple flowers. It's been roughly months and the plants were easily and successfully transplanted where they are nearly triple in size and showing signs of flowering soon. It's been a month of unseasonably warm temps and the plants are indeed thriving with light watering. Very adaptable and very pleased with this purchase."
Winner winner chicken dinner!
"This is a sweet surprise in the flower bed and easy to dry for dried flowers. Takes very little care. I love its delicacy. #sweepstakes"
Try these. . . . you will love them
"I am so glad I tried these. They are blooming away even in 93 degree heat. They are lush and just the right height to fill in the bottom tier of a garden. I have them with echinacea and some tall sedums and they look great."
Wonderful!!
"Having never done business with High Country Gardens before, I was skeptical about mail order plants. I was waiting!! These plants were very well packed! On very good condition! I am most impressed!!!! Will definitely do further business with this company."
