The Gardener's Notepad
A beautiful and simple perennial, reblooming freely throughout the summer. Buds resemble hot air balloons, and open to large blue flowers with purple veins. Take care not to disturb the crowns in early spring, as these are late to emerge. Clumps may be divided every 2-3 years, but do best if left undisturbed.
