The lacecaps start out blue, blooms change to a variety of colors (right now they are rosy pink, nearly red). Beautiful leaf color in fall. Very little browsing problems with my troublesome deer. I have two of these in my side garden now, but plan to move them this fall to my front bed to fill some gaps and let everyone enjoy them!

Flower color is quite variable. Mine are in their 2nd year. The 1st year I was VERY disappointed because the blooms were just a very pale lavendar. But this year...WOW!!! I have pale pink, bright pink, sky blue, lavendar, etc all on the same plant! So if you plant this one and get boring blooms the 1st year, be patient.
