The upright stems of P. caeruleum rise regally, often to a height of three feet. Wispy leaves alternate, resembling the rungs of a ladder. The petals of its clustered blossoms are a brilliant blue, a gorgeous example of nature’s rare blue flowers. Bright yellow stamens provide striking contrast. P. caeruleum is a late spring to early summer bloomer. Like the hosta, it thrives in shade where there is rich, well-drained soil, and makes a great understory plant beneath trees. Given the opportunity to go to seed, it will naturalize on your property, returning in greater quantity each year.
