Singing the Blues layers a cool palette into tall, romantic spires. Royal blue, violet-blue, white brushed with blue, and soft white double flowers crowd 3–4-foot stems for an early cottage-garden display.
The long-lasting spikes fall easily into loose bouquets and air-dry with their rich color intact. Sow generously for enough stems to cut while leaving a blue haze in the border for visiting pollinators.
