    This is a true blue, always a nice welcome to the garden, which turns pinkish when it is about done. It blooms in early spring, then kind of disappears during the hot summer. I find it works well under daylilies or ferns, which hide the tattered summer foliage. It seems to like regular division, which rejuvenates it.
