If you want to attract butterflies to your garden or meadow, this is the wildflower to plant. Medium to bright blue flowers bloom profusely April through July, displaying clusters of clover-like blossoms on tall, upright stems. Finely cut, attractive foliage appears mostly at the base of this plant. Though this annual dies at the first frost, it readily reseeds itself, and can continue growing thus for years to come!
