Heliopsis helianthoides var. scabra

This herbaceous perennial grows up to 90cm tall and has very delicate blue cornflower-like flowers that grow continuously from early to late summer. The flowers grow on a long thin stem with neat grass-like leaves. For a better display, we recommend planting a minimum of three plants close together to make up for the sparse foliage.

Tall blue flower spikes sit on a bed of yellow-green scented foliage. The flower spikes can reach up to 90cm and attract pollinators with their sweet fragrance. Flowers appear in mid-summer which makes thnis plant perfect for adding colour to your garden for later in the season. Agastache can be planted in containers for the first season and then be planted into your garden border for the following seasons.

Monarda is also known as Bergamot and this variety bears interesting fluffy rich scarlet flowers that appear in early summer and flower all the way into autumn. This plant is very aromatic and retains its scent when dried. May need dividing every three years to revive the plant.
