Tough plant! Medium-height perennial with finer foliage than its larger-flowered cousins. Flowers come in many shades from white to dark blue; ours are light and dark blue. The ones in the photo on the right, at about 3 ft, are by far the tallest of the ones in our garden - most of them top out at about 18".
