I’m going to try this one out

Absolutely stunning! I can’t believe the sheer volume of gorgeous blue blooms, and they just keep coming (I do dead-head)! Lovely plant anyway, with very interesting foliage. In the past I’ve seen maybe a couple butterflies each year, but now I’m seeing several daily – they are so drawn to those beautiful blue buds! I planted mine next to our small pond, and it has made such a statement! Thank you!

Love, love, love this! It grows so well, blooms amazingly and smells wonderful. It has become a go-to for our gardens. We have 4 and I am sure we will add more!
