InfoNamed after my sister. This is the first of my blues. And what a blue it is! At the height of its color it stands out clear across the yard. There is almost a purple cast to it.
The leaves are slightly corrugated and slightly folded at the petiole.
Flowers are soft lavender and blooms fairly early.
A great parent.
Color is better after a year from division.
Keep it well watered to stall the blue loss due to heat.
