Deinanthe caerulea ‘Blue Wonder’

Description

An unusual and seldom-encountered Chinese woodland perennial. This forms a low, slow spreading mound of felty dark-green leaves, bearing clusters of lavender-blue blossoms in early summer. Petals are shaped like individual Hydrangea flowers, the blooms appearing early to midsummer. Best in rich, moist woodland soil and dappled shade, away from strong winds. Height 60cm (2′)
