Blue Vervain

Blue Vervain

Blue Vervain is prized for its perennial color palette. While the flowers are delightfully violet-purple, the stem from which the spears and flowers emerge is deep red to pink, providing a subtle accent color in the garden. Growing to 4 ft, this vervain plant is ideal for the back border of a moist garden bed, where it can receive full sun without shading the other plants growing nearby. Once established, this plant will form colonies and provide more densely packed flowering spears for visual pleasure.

I had doubts when I first opened the box. Packaged well. After planting them after two weeks they came to life and are flourishing quite well. They are very healthy and now branching out vividly. Thank you!

Giant Chicory!

I purchased a selection of blue plants. I planted the bare roots in a large planter I call the nursery. I wait until they are adapting to their new environment. When they start growing about three inches, I transplant to a larger pot, then to their permanent location in my garden. One grew to four feet. Others are 1- 2 feet! I can see buds sprouting and can’t wait until they bloom. I did have to cut the 4ft one down to 2 ft so it would get fuller.

My favorite spring flower

My absolute favorite spring flower. I’ve bought several over the years. Sometimes I’ve found they might not come up until the second year but most from this nursery come in the next spring.
