If you like floriferous perennials that are easy to grow, cold-hardy, can flower from the first year of sowing, bloom over a long period (July to October) and whose cut flowers have stamina, you'll love Fama Blue!

On top of all that, it's pleasantly fragrant and attracts many beneficial pollinating insects and butterflies. 60 to 90 cm high. For fertile soil that drains well, in sun or partial shade. Good drought tolerance once established. zone 3.
