I would like to know what "BLUE FLOWERS" everyone has grown???

I have tried that ever elusive Himalayin (sp) blue poppie to no avail............
I do have the "Plumbago" creeping groundcover
http://www.marysplantfarm.com/_photos/groundcovers/ceratostigma_plumbaginoides.htm

The "Caryopteris, Blue beard, or blue mist."
http://www.chicagobotanic.org/plantinfo/pp/PPCaryopteris.html

Can't think of anymore right now, got to go back out side and finish planting my Hardy Gladioli's......... 28 of them to plant.....

Happy, Happy Gardening!!!!!!!!!

I'm sold on the blue beard!They bring life to your garden;especially here in the South, in late summer when many plants have already done their duty for the season
I've also got some blue asters growing for a border and few varieties of irises which have already bloomed.
Got a few blue knolls i'm going to pot. Looking forward to those.
U sound just like me... spent all afternoon planting celosia (cock's comb),wild daisies (dug up at job site!!LOL!),cleomies,and asters!

Blue flowers. I love blue flowers! They are so cool!
Presently I'm trying to grow Chinaerhinum Summer Skies from seed. (Don't know if that's spelled right :rolleyes I think one has come up. The seeds are so tiny! I hope they grow.

What about good old FLAX (linum)? It's true blue and easy to grow from seed.

Bachelor's buttons- never had much luck with them, but tried again this year and they're going like gangbusters.

Forget me nots!!!! How could we forget?

I know what you mean about that fabulous blue poppy, but I think it only grows in Washington state!

Scabiosa!

STOKESIA!!!!!!!!!!!

(Forgive that outburst. I've had blue Stokesia growing in my garden for ten years and it is so lovely. Just starting to bud now, too!)

True blue

My next BLUE FLOWER is a
Cerinthe major Purpurascens......
Awesome flower, pretty blues with a bit of purple and hangs like a Sweet pea or Wisteria.

Read the bottom of the site.
The info may come in handy some day for those budding flower sellers/breeders???
Hey, ya never know. I had some thing here I wanted to get probagated and couldn't find an avenue.............. So if some one needs it here's the info....

I like my oregano, it hasn't flowered yet but it seems very easy to grow and you can use it in the kitchen. From what I've seen it has bright blue flowers which I'm hoping will give a lovely look to my little herb garden.

I just bought a Blue Margerite. It's supposed to be an evergreen shrub, but it's not frost hardy. I put it in a container and am hoping I can bring it in for the winter. It's beautiful in a container.

My favourite blue flowers are my dephiniums (one is sky and the other is more of a royal, can't remember name) and my morning glory. There is also lobelia and baby's breath. Happy gardening! D.
