$8.99
One of the easiest to grow dragonheads, even in regular flower bed conditions! Dracocephalum ruyschiana has deep sky-blue, slightly fragrant flowers in late summer, and grows in regular mounds of narrow, green, aromatic leaves. This adaptable and tough plant is a deer resistant, but bee-friendly, perennial that is native to Russia, Asia and Europe.
Showy and easy plant for the front of the flower borders, rock gardens, crevices, and drained soils.
It can be combined with many sun-loving perennials; it meets in bloom time and looks good with the yellow colors of Achillea 'Moonshine', Coreopsis, Oenothera, and Rudbeckia missouriensis, with the orange flowers of Asclepias tuberosa, the purples of Callirhoe, and the shorter cultivars of Echinacea.

I wish I had heard of this beautiful flower before!
I have never even heard of this flower until seeing it listed in US Perennials and thought I would try it because it is so pretty. It arrived in a 4" pot filled with healthy and appropriately moist soil to sustain it during shipping. It immediately took to the bed I planted it in and is lush and green and healthy. I am looking forward to the blue blooms that will look nice with the apricot colored roses and Avens Wet Kiss Geums that will be it's new neighbors.
