Pacific Northwest native plants know how to live here and how to thrive here. They often need much less water and less fertilizer. They spread slowly and are not invasive. They support a wide diversity of wildlife. And best of all, they look great!<\/p>\n<p>A very charming wildflower with upright, single or minimally branched stems. Foliage is finely divided, with leaves larger and denser at the base and smaller moving upward. Globe shaped flower heads hold clusters of dainty blue flowers. These modest blue flowers are very pretty when planted in drifts. A wonderful plant for attracting butterflies and numerous pollinators (bees LOVE this flower!). Thrives in full sun but can tolerate partial shade. It is highly drought-tolerant once established and grows well in a variety of soil types, including sandy, rocky, and poor soils with good drainage. Its adaptability makes it an excellent choice for low-maintenance landscapes, restoration projects, and native plant gardens. This wildflower is attractive to a wide range of pollinators, including bees, butterflies, and beneficial insects, adding ecological value wherever it is planted. It typically grows 12 to 36 inches tall and blooms from late spring to midsummer. Image courtesy of Silver Falls Seed Company.
