Description:

8” x 12” wide, (cutting propagated). 2005 Plant Select® Winner. A superb CO native Beardtongue with thin, blue-gray evergreen leaves and clouds of lavender-blue flowers in late spring. Has a shrubby growth habit. After the plant has finished blooming, deadhead the old flower spikes (leaving a few to allow re-seeding). A light shearing of the foliage in fall to shape the plant and remove any dead branches is helpful. Place it in full, hot sun.

Works well with cacti, Scutellaria and Erigeron.
