Raised in Berlin in 1891 'Elsa Spath' still holds its own among modern varieties. It is free-flowering, producing mid-blue blooms with deep red anthers over a long period from late spring to early autumn. To prune, remove any dead or weak stems in late winter or early spring and cut remaining stems back to the highest pair of strong-growing buds. To encourage blooms to cover the whole plant, train the stems so that they are evenly spaced on their support. As new growth appears in mid-spring, train this to fill any gaps.
