Usually grown as cultivar 'Fuji Blue', our seed came unmarked as to variety, so I'll consider them the plain species. I like all the dragonheads I've managed to grow in our garden, and this one is among the nicer varieties I've coaxed to thrive, with its healthy-looking narrow dark-green leaves and relatively large flowers. So I hope it sticks around – so far, they're blooming in their second year, starting in early June.

We left this plant behind in our Pennsylvania garden (and wish it well); we don't grow it in Houston. About my plant portraits

Visitors to this page have left the following commentsLisa | Mar 21, 2016 | Hi there! I am trying to grow seeds of the dracocephalum argunese. Do I need to refriderate these seeds?? I got them at a seed exchange.. I just can't seem to find some good info on what to do with the seeds! No, I don't think they require cold treatment, based on my germination results. Cold storage keeps the seeds fresh, but it doesn't usually fill germination requirements. |
- Seed from NARGS '08/'09 exchange, cold-stored over summer. Baggy 70F (60%G, 10-36d)
