Don't let this plant's small package fool you into thinking its performance is small. Dense and compact, 'Mel's Blue' packs a bigger plant's punch with masses of fat buds that open in July to reveal huge 2 to 3" diameter blue flowers that cover the plant into late summer. This color machine is perfect for massing in the garden for a wave of summer color or for using in a mixed container that will be sure to grab some attention.
