Dracocephalum ruyschianum 'Blue Dragon'

Dragonhead

Our own selection of this species has dark blue snapdragon flowers covering a low, thick mound of rosemary-like foliage in early summer. Compact in a container and very easy to grow, just treat it as you would a Dianthus. It has been reliably hardy in Landenberg through rain and drought for 5 winters. Needs good drainage.
