Blue Mistflower (Conoclinium coelestinum)

Valuable addition to the late summer garden. It is about 32 inches tall and has a tendency to fill in the empty spots through prolific seeding. It is also super easy to pull if you need to keep it in check-it has shallow, spongy roots. It prefers med wet to wet soil but does great in medium garden soil too.

It doesn’t need a lot of light, which gives it an advantage and almost ‘ground cover’ like quality.
