Front Gardens #3: June 29/08

They look very much like a plant I have which are Veronica even the leafi the same

Does this plant spreads rapidly on you? Mine were recently IDed as a Veronica. I love them but tehy are a spreader

Love the blue

Very similiar Bunting.These are California Blue Bells Gentian Blue—-Phacelia Campanaluria.I’ve never grown them before so I don’t know how much they will spread yet.They are just annuals.

Bon

I bought 5 plants of the Gentian Blue a few years ago and I could only get them in Sept around here and they didn’t survive the winter

at $5.99 a plant a big loss to me

Just something a little different for me in the garden.I really like them.They would be great in a planter too.

You are right Bon, they would be delightful in a container.
