Just love them, so far I have: C. montana (blue), C. montna 'Amethyst in White', both reseed and the white more so. C. phygria in purple and yellow, both are light reseeders and C. machrocephala (the biggest of all of them), here shown with an unopened Veronica (common name is hardhead, and blooms mid summer ( the others bloom all season), very light reseeding. And I got a new one last year but didn't bloom yet, it's C. montana 'Blackie' 'spose to be a dark purple The montanas can be used as indicator plants...if they start to droop it's time to water....read that somewhere.... If you ever find the pink montana I want seed.....lol, that or one of these days I will have to order the seed from England. Egads...lol.. don't even get me going on perenns that need to get into the ground...I have a bunch, yikes!!!! |
