Too funny!

I got the bright idea this winter to do a Blue Garden to accommodate Platycodons which I cannot live without (lol!) and which don't 'blend' anywhere else. So far the best color comes from some gorgeous pots bought a million years ago. The Platys are doing nothing, the Veronica Sunny Border Blue has buds but that's all so far, Dracocephalum the perennial is lovely but not long blooming, and I think the annual Dracos I did from seed are DOA. Phlox Blue Paradise is purple... I have yet to see Clematis Arabella... Fell in love with Ceanothus Marie Bleu a few weeks ago, blooms now long gone... Etc...

But the worst is that last year I started what I thought was Bog Sage, Salvia Uliginosa from seed, and this year it got tall and had buds. I was soooo excited... And look what I got!!! Yikes! Is it a weed? Should I pull it out? It certainly isn't blue :-(
