These fragrant blooms are a Swallowtail butterflies' heaven! Emerging in Spring, these rounded spikes of starry, sky blue flowers last for several weeks. Deep green willow-like leaves turn a lustrous gold in the fall, adding needed color to a dying landscape. Use in borders, flower garden, or for naturalizing prairies along with Showy Goldenrod or Indian Paintbrush for season-long color!
