I have a beautiful dark blue hebe that does verge on violet but might look good.
I find it hard to find really blue blues apart from transient annuals/biennial like forget me nots and love in a mist. I did have a pale blue ceanothus but that looked almost grey in the garden and I wasn't too sorry when it got wrecked.
Someone is going to have to explain the "rude user name" to me! On the blue theme, I have a Plumbago Jasminoidies which is beautiful,deep blue flowers dark green leaves,it's not hardy everywhere,and a Caryopteris Summer Sorbet, light green leaves, pretty pale blue flowers. On the accompanying ticket, the flowers look lilac. My hubby says they're purple... But he's a man! To him everything is black and white, or red, blue, green yellow . I will see cerise pink,he sees red
Lol, a few years ago I was discussing men's inability to correctly identify colours with a friend who is a doctor. He said that, bar colour blindness, there is no biological reason why it should be so, apart from men being lazy and/or stupid. Tbh I think he knew what his audience wanted to hear.😁
Unless it really is green .😱.. isn't gangrene sometimes a result of taking too much home-brewed cider for too long ... perhaps his name is really a cry for help .... @punkdoc ... I believe amputation is usually the next step ...?

Sorry to jump in but I’m not posting questions on here any more due to sarcastic/unnecessary replies. I know they are very much the minority but I am a sensitive soul and i take everything to heart. As you say Fire, I don’t get it.
@Wildlifelover I agree with what you have said, as you know I tried to support you on another thread. I had hoped you might continue to post as I have been interested in the plants you grow. We all know how good gardening is for our mental health. There are just a few on this forum who need to be mindful of that. Finding out answers from other gardeners is a huge help to me and it improves the way I garden. Being able to spell doen't make you a good gardener.

@Wildlifelover It would be a pity to let the odd 1 or 2 posters put you off asking questions on the forum. I agree they can be extremely childish but if they really upset you, it is possible to use the Ignore facility. It might save you some angst
