A milkweed cousin grown for its dreamy sky-blue flowers, Tweedia caerulea ‘Heaven Born’ is as lovely in the vase as it is in the garden. Loose clusters of 1", star-shaped blue blooms appear all summer long, bringing a soft, celestial color that is surprisingly rare among flowering annuals and tender perennials.

Also known as Blue Tweedia or Southern Star, ‘Heaven Born’ is popular as a long-lasting cut flower and a romantic addition to cottage gardens, cutting gardens, pollinator borders, and sunny containers. The blue flowers pair beautifully with white cosmos, apricot zinnias, pink scabiosa, silver foliage, grasses, and other bouquet favorites. Its open habit gives arrangements an airy, graceful quality.

Plant Tweedia caerulea ‘Heaven Born’ in full sun with well-drained soil and regular water during active growth. Cut flowers often to encourage more blooms, and provide light support if needed. Sweet, unusual, and beautifully bouquet-worthy, this is a sky-blue treasure for summer gardens. Explore more seasonal beauties in our Annuals collection.
