Questions and Answers
This is a beautiful, blue-flowered plant with a long blooming period (most of August and September). The plants will grow four to six feet tall, but can be pinched back until late July to keep them shorter. Pinching off tops or pulling off the seeds when the stems are almost finished blooming will stimulate new flowers in October.
This is a striking plant for the summer and fall seasons in dry, sunny locations. It offers a nice contrast to the yellow goldenrods that are also blooming at this time.
Uses: Deer & drought resistant, showy flowers, bees, butterflies, humming birds
Bloom time: August & September
Height: 3 to 5 feet
Space: 16 to 20 inches
Sun: Full sun to light shade
Moisture: Dry to average
Seed:
8,000 seeds per ounce
1 ounce per 250 square feet
7 to 10 pounds per acre

Q:
I planted one potted plant last year and this year I have about 10 new plants all over the garden! I assume this is self seeding and not spreading, correct?
