A native plant that is ideal for that partially shaded area in your garden or as part of a woodland garden. Plants are low maintenance once established and thrive in a rich, partially moist soil. This early bloomer delights with bluish-purple flowers in spring, when most other perennials are still green or just emerging. Plants produce an abundance of flowers, which are beautifully accented by the characteristic, ladder-like foliage. The striking flowers are beneficial to a number of different poillinators, including bees, butterflies and moth, and at a time when perennial blooms are still quite scarce.
Popular varieties include the Laguna series from Proven Winners, the Regatta Series, Sapphire and Rosamond.
