Blue is one of the rarest colours in nature, so this new, gentian-blue plant makes an attractive and unusual addition to the garden. Due to its height and delicate, elegant stems it does benefit from being staked and supported while growing. It is unfortunately rather attractive to slugs too, so young plants should be protected to ensure that they reach flowering height. Plant in well-drained, rich soil that has been enriched with organic matter and water well during flowering. The plant will flower in June or July and, if deadheaded promptly, can re-flower again in the early autumn.
