Blooms mid to late June in my garden. Very pretty flower, but tends to flop.

Upright sprays of 1-1/2" asterlike flowers, which are a deep blue-lavendar with a bright yellow center. The foliage forms clumps and the leaves are lance-shaped and mid green. A nice accent flower. I've had them growing outside my back door for about 6 years. Always comes back faithfully with little or no care.
