Thanks Silver surfer,it's 16,dainty flowers. What's the best place to buy them, are they bulbs?
Not a bulb. Just a perennial. Flowers very blue..not sure that it is a match to mystery Amsonia. Amsonia tabernaemontana... is presently sold by 15 nurseries.....see.
The leaves are a lot like my A. tabernaemontana but mine has much bluer flowers than the one in your picture or, indeed, the one offered by the Beth Chatto nursery. Maybe pop an email to Merriments for the exact plant? https://www.bethchatto.co.uk/a-z/a-b/amsonia/amsonia-tabernaemontana.htm
Hello Rachel I looked at the Beth Chattoes site, they do look pale blue to me, thanks for the info. Sods law the plants were beautifully labelled,big clear labels,apart from this one
