Best blue flowering plant

VerdunVerdun Posts: 23,348
I grow lots of blue flowered plants. What's your favourite? How about linum perenne to start? In summer, and grown next to santolina lemon fizz....yellow foliage....and behind a yellow osteospermum it is a real eye catcher all summer long.

  • well,I like to see a wood of bluebells,also grape Hyacintha's are lovely with the perfume,dutch iris the small ones,and of course clematis Mr young can look pretty good too!

  • Many perennial Salvias are an amazing blue

  • I love a bluebell wood, but also meconopsis poppy.
  • Lithadora Heavenly Blue is wonderful as is Grace Ward.

  • I like Ageratum fluffy plant looks pretty low growing, I like blue cornflower and small blue sweet peas.

    Blue and yellow flowers do look nice together

    I have a lot of cornflowers in my front cottage garden.  I find seeds from packets do not always work that well.  A few years back I brought a couple of plants then when they died off I collected the seeds and scattered them in the garden at the same time as they would normally drop from the plant when it had died.  I now do this every year with my cornflower plants and always have a good show.

    Not exotic but delphiniums are great plants and there are some fantastic shades of blue out there. I also have a fair few hardy geraniums which should be flowering very soon, given a bit of sunshine, very easy plants that give a lot.
