Pycnostachys urticifolia
"Blue Witches' Hats"

Everyone needs Fall & Winter excitement in their garden & this outrageous South African shrub is the guy to do it! Strong & sturdily multi-branching to a quick 5’ x 5’, this easy to grow wonder bears hundreds of upright cobalt blue “Witches’ Hats” from Fall to Spring! Prominently displayed at branch tips, the 4” densely packed spikes open from the bottom, creating the fanciful brim. Evergreen with pleasing glossy heart-shaped leaves, it’s truly an outrageous sight to behold in bloom. Prune back to 3’ in Spring to maintain a nice bushy shape. Flowers first year!
