Think this is what I have,although it was shown on the packet,as a deep rose pink ! Do they only flower once in a season,as I had some a long time ago..and I expected them to flower again,but they never did..I got rid of them,as they got so big,and seemed to take over..

Thanks Stripes and Michaella
Sandra I think they do olnly have a short flowering period, but just love them while they are here, they are quite easy to control just cut them right down after flowering;0)

They spread and keep weeds under control which is why I tolerate them, so pretty.

Thanks Grandma, I have so much packed in that weeds dont stand a chance ;0)

Hi Carole, this is such a striking colour :-)
(I've just Googled 'Johnson's Blue' and 'Blue Sunrise' and it's 'Blue Sunrise' that has the lime green leaves, while 'Johnson's Blue' has darker green leaves).

Thanks Carole..will give them the chop then,when they finish..and also to you Muddy,..I know now,that mine is Johnson's Blue ..:o)

I find that if you cut them down now you often get a second flush of flowers around September ,

Your welcome Carole

That's pretty....
As the flowers die I gradually cut mine back so that as the remainder of the flowers go over, the first part of the plant has greened up again...it doesn't leave a bare gap that way...Now it's a nice mound of green, and will flower again shortly....:o))

I have lots of these in various colours but this blue is my favourite. And that is a good tip Crissue. Must remember that...
