An excellent form with strong, branched, stems of silvery blue flowers, the stems turning purplish blue to 80cm. Drained soil in sun. Good for cutting.

The clumps of flat green leaves make a good perennal addition to the border and reliably send up their flowers annually. Try growing with some of the more open ornamental grasses like Eragrostis or Stipa and a few brighter flowers.
