These spectacular, garden friendly dwarf hybrids of the famed Russell line are certain to fly off your benches with their vigorous growth, tight form and signature bloom. Emerging leaves form a compact mound of intriguing, blue-green, palmate foliage that tops itself with tight, pyramidal towers of big buds that open in mid-June, stretching nearly 12" above the foliage. The flowers are a breathtaking bluish-purple dotted white and last well into July with their butterfly attracting power. 'Gallery Blue' is mildew resistant and deer and rabbit resistant making it a joy to grow as long as you are providing it with plenty of sun and an area with deep, rich, moist, well-drained soil. Use them in a formal bed or in an area where they can be naturalized, because they'll look great anywhere in your landscape!
