Mountain Bluet is a tough perennial, growing in a dense rounded mound about 12 to 18 inches tall and wide, with dark green to grey-green simple leaves and beautiful blue flowers with petals that look like eye-lashes. Blooms late spring to early summer. It has a tendency to spread by stolons and reseeding, and so rarely ends up where you started it. If tidiness is your thing, walk past this charming flower; it's best suited to cottage style gardens, meadow-like gardens, and more naturally-styled spaces.
Grow in well drained soil in full sun to light shade. Adaptive to many soil types except wet ones. It will spread by stolons and reseeding and take up residence where it finds a suitable environment. Deadheading may prolong bloom season, Cut back to ground in late winter to early spring.
