Water Saving Tip:

Replace turf with groundcovers, trees, and shrubs. If you have areas where no one uses the grass, patches that do not grow well, or a turf area too small to water without runoff, consider replacing the turf with water-efficient landscaping.

  • Description

  • Notes

'Blue Mist' is an attractive, compact, mounding cultivar of the species, growing about 2 to 3 feet tall and wide. It has powder blue, fragrant flowers that bloom July to September. Foliage is long, usually with toothed margins, or even deeply lobed, and is aromatic. Fall color is yellow. Use in the perennial, shrub, or foundation border. When planted with ornamental grasses, it makes for a nice, late summer vignette.
