A Neat Little Cushion of Lavender-Blue!
Heteropappus Blue Knoll
Great for late-summer and fall color!
Perfectly mound-shaped plants are covered in bright daisies!
Blue is a rare color in the garden at any time, but in late summer, when all the summer annuals are fading and the fall color hasn't yet got started, it is nothing short of amazing. And with this astonishing new Heteropappus, you not only get blooms, you get blanketed in bright color that resists rough weather beautifully, well into fall!
These charming daisies completely hide the foliage, forming a solid dome of cool color that looks splendid alongside annual Mums. Intermediate and tall Snapdragons are a fine backdrop to its powdery blue tones -- try the red-and-white bicolor Night and Day or the majestic Rocket Golden.
You simply cannot find a more floriferous, nicely-shaped, weather-tolerant, long-blooming annual for late summer and fall! Just 12 inches tall and 18 inches wide, it is a nice size for border or bed, and would make a stunning container plant for the patio.
Sow seeds in January or February for October and November bloom. If you'd like an earlier season, sow them in fall to bloom the following late sumer/early fall. Pkt is 15 seeds.
