A couple of other blues for you gals to check out....Allium azureum( book describes them as cornflower blue but I refer to the as steel blue). Also does anyone else grow Veronica gentianoides? A light soft blue but not real long on bloom time, 4 weeks-ish. I grew a bunch from seed last season and am waiting for first bloom... another great one is Veronica "Waterperry Blue" Pix 4
I love the blue of Linum perenne (blue flax pix 2), and the Gentians are another lovely (from groundcovers to 24", pix 1 ) is G. septemfida groundcover and late summer bloom. Clem is Durandii.

Also picked up a new one this spring but have to see it next spring....Veronica liwaensis, cobalt blue flowers, 1-2" foliage on matt forming plant.
