Buglossoides ceruleapurpurea

Still looks stunning though!

how tall is it sheila? might work in my garden.??

Thanks Sgbabe. Sticki - it's a low-growing spreader (maybe 6" - 8"?) and a wonderful blue, but it IS a thug, and will stifle anything except perennial geranium. It is fairly unusual, so if you'd like a root, I'll see if I can dig one up.

thats very kind, how much shade is yours in?

No problem. It's not dense shade . . . but only gets a glimpse of sunshine in the evening. And I've just had a walk round the garden, and it's nearer 10".

i wouldnt mind a little root if you didnt mind ~ thank you.

Will do. :)

Btw, it's really a bright "royal" blue!

very appropriate then ~ not sure i can pronounce its name tho!

its absolutely lovely. I don't need any more shade lovers, but if I did I would be searching for this!

Thanks Karen! Yes Sticki, the name is a mouthful - I had to "learn" it. And come to think of it, it is a SLOW spreader, so your other plants won't get strangled for a few years yet . . Will PM you.

thanks sheila
