Hardy Perennial. Upright perennial with airy, feathery leaves and upward-facing, 5-petaled clear, luminous blue blossoms, only open for 1 day. These appealing flowers will appear in succession and deadheading will also encourage continual blooming. Does best in full sun exposure and humus-rich, well-drained soil. Suitable for rock gardens or borders. Propagate by seed in spring through autumn or by basal cuttings in the summer. Benefits from winter mulching but does not like wet roots in winter. Feed with a balanced fertilizer in the growing season.
