CHECK AVAILABILITY
A plethora of pale blue flowers from June through a hard frost on compact plants. With some salt tolerance and great drought tolerance, these plants will bring the butterflies and other pollinators to the scene. Fragrant foliage deters creatures from eating the foliage. Perfect for the front of the border or an addition to a created meadow.
