Selected by Bill Cullina of the New England Wildflower Society. An
outstanding and colorful new cultivar sporting green leaves with white
leaf margins that are tinged with pink. Pale lavender blue, 3/4 inch
bell-shaped flowers with white stamens are produced from early through
midsummer. Best color in light shade. Easy to grow, polemoniums prefer a cool, moist environment with
protection from afternoon sun. Deadheading will encourage sporadic
reblooming in late summer. Though it seldom needs to be divided, it may
be done in spring or fall. |
