of lavender-blue flowers from May until late fall if 
the early summer flowers are clipped off as they

duces a cool, restful effect in the garden, and as it 
does well in dry situations or poor soil, it is used

use of pot-grown plants except where large quantities 
are required. Field-grown plants or plants from 3-in.
