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.

This salvia shows velvety purple and plum coloured blooms from spring to autumn and sometimes even until the first frosts. Grown in ideal conditions in well-draining soil and full sun or partial shade it will keep its foliage in mild winters and can tolerate very low temperatures with some winter protection. Plant in a patio container or near seating areas to enjoy the minty-blackcurrant scent from the foliage.
