Blue flowers are few and far between. True, you will see many blue flowers advertised in plant and seed catalogs, but 9 times out of 10 they will actually be purple. 'Johnson's Blue' geranium? Purple! Blue flag iris? Purple! Why do they do this? For one thing, blue flowers are coveted, so calling them blue will increase sales. They sometimes go so far as to PhotoShop the images to make them appear bluer than they are. And some people really cannot see the difference- I've stood before plants that are clearly purple and have the proud owner say "Blue!" So which plants can really make the claim to blue fame? First of all, despite names to the contrary, there are NO blue roses. All the older roses called 'blue'- 'Blue Girl', 'Blue Moon'- are really lavender (likewise with the 'silver' roses- they're all lavender, too). The new crop of 'blue' roses -'Outta the Blue', 'Midnight Blue' are all a darker purple. Given that it took until the mid-20th century to create a lavender rose, you'd think that calling it that would make it rare enough! There are no blue petunias, either, despite every line of petunias having a 'blue' in it's line up- 'Blue Daddy', 'Supercascade Blue'. 'Blue' petunias range from lavender to deep, velvety midnight purple, but not blue. The most stunning source of blue in the garden is probably the regal delphinium. From palest ice blue ("Magic Fountains Sky Blue") to medium blue ("Pacific Giants Blue Bird") to brilliant deep blue ("Pacific Giants Blue Jay"), delphiniums provide a total range of clear, true blue. Blooming in mid-summer, they will repeat the show again in late summer if you cut them back promptly after blooming. Place these tall beauties against a wall or fence, in the back of the border, where they can hold court over shorter plants. Make sure to stake them well, and feed heavily. Veronica 'Royal Blue' is another perennial source of true blue, and like delphiniums, it reblooms. It's a floppy sort of plant, never standing upright, which makes it perfect for a design trick of mine- blue flowers as water. I was working with a dry streambed that seemed to emerge out of a block wall. Needing something at the joining spot, I put in a couple of these veronicas. The blue flowers, spilling out of some rocks, gave the idea that perhaps this stream had an artesian source at the wall, which I softened with some taller plants. Annual lobelia is another good plant for this if the area is shady. 'Crystal Palace' is variable, with some seed lots being true deep blue and some with a touch of purple, but it's worth it to find a reliable supplier. 'Cambridge Blue' is a true sky blue. A somewhat unusual perennial, Anchusa azurea (Bugloss) has a Latin name that tells the truth- it is indeed azure. While the leaves are painfully hairy -not a cuddly plant- and course looking, the flowers are lovely intense blue stars. Listed as an early spring bloomer, I've known it to bloom for two full months and then repeat again in fall. This plant must have excellent drainage or the hairy rosettes will rot in winter. Don't expect blooms the first year and in fall cut back and clean up the leaves before they turn brown. They are much pricklier when dried up and brown! Anagallis monellii is perennial in warmer zones than my zone 4, but it grows so fast from seed that it makes a good annual. It's a crawler with dark lapis flowers that open and close according to the weather, which gave it the common name of 'Weatherglass'. There are a few true blue perennials that I'd love to have, but don't have the climate for. Meconopsis, the Himalayan Blue Poppy, is supposed to be a stunner, but is very finicky about it's soil, heat and cold. The blue corydalis, like 'Blue Panda', are much easier but aren't cold hardy enough for where I am. They are lacy little plants that look wonderful in a woodland or shady setting. And commelina, a cousin of tradescantia, has very intense cobalt flowers. It's shorter than tradescantia, topping out at 6-12". I tried lifting the tuberous roots and treating them like dahlias, but they would have none of it and died before winter was half over. For a cheap- and ineradicable- carpet of pale blue, sow some forget-me-nots. Myosotis will not usually bloom in its first year but after that, you will have it forever. Blooming early and for a long period, it can provide a solid ground cover. When the bloom becomes sparse, cut it back or pull it out before it can develop mildew. By this time it will have dropped enough seed to sprout plants for next years bloom. Actually, they drop enough seed to cover the entire world if not kept in check. Another super easy blue annual is annual Bachelor's Buttons. Available in dark, medium or light blue, they will also perpetuate themselves given half a chance, but not to the extent of being a problem. I've seen them growing on the edges of hayfields, surviving but not taking over. No matter which shade of blue you start with, the dark ones will eventually prevail. Nigella - not the TV chef- comes in blue, 'Miss Jekyll' being the most available one. Be ready to thin them, because they are variable and some will have some purple to them. Keep those from setting seed, allow the true blues to do so, and you should have them forever. A couple of other plants are self seeding without being pesky: borage, a cucumber flavored herb, is related to anchusa and has the same star shaped flowers but in a lighter hue. Occasionally the flowers are pink or even half pink/half blue, all on the same plant. It's hairy leaves flop about in an appealing way. Chicory, known as a coffee substitute in New Orleans, has medium blue flowers that open in the morning and close when the sun gets bright. The leaves look like dandelions, and it runs the risk of being weeded out unless it's in bloom. And, of course, Heavenly Blue morning glories, those brilliant trumpets. Plant them on the east side of the house, and they'll stay open longer than on the south. Hydrangea is the only shrub I know of with true blue flowers, 'Nikko Blue' being my favorite. Remember that to be blue, a hydrangea needs acid soil; any alkalinity and they'll turn pink or at least purple. Aluminum sulfate is the standard treatment for this; if you soil is only slightly alkaline, you may get by with Miracid and avoid the aluminum build up. Some foliage is called 'blue'- blue hostas, blue spruce, blue junipers, blue Atlas cedars. They are really more gray than blue, but they are good for echoing the blue theme. A garden of all blue sounds soothing and tempting, but remember that not all blues are created equal, and that a blue that is slightly 'off' towards purple will look even further off if put next to a truer blue plant. To really make blue stand out add some other colors. Blue and white has a very light feel while still being 'cool'. This would be even more effective with plants with gray foliage. Yellow really punches up blue and makes it sing, giving it a Monet's garden effect. Blue with maroon or burgundy- especially maroon foliage- would make a very somber, dramatic garden, suitable for writing angsty poetry and reading vampire novels. Blue as an accent can be electrifying; picture a tall blue delphinium in a bed of soft, creamy 'Moonbeam' coreopsis, 'Windrush' roses and yellow marigolds. Or it can be cool and calming; a pool of lobelia under a tree, surrounded by hostas. Blue is a rare color in plants, it's rarity making us enjoy it all the more when we come across it in our gardens. But it's a color that does not tire us, even when used lavishly, so why not make space for it? |
