I have 2 cultivars, 'Hadspen Creme' and 'Looking Glass' growing in 2 different spots in my garden. These plants have become a staple, as they are some of the first plants to come up in the spring, and they are some of the most beautiful! I love the dainty blue flowers, and the foliage is lovely. These are low-maintenance plants, and I have never had any pest or disease problems with them. I highly suggest them as a wonderful addition to any garden!
