** I’m a NA native, but technically not native to NY. I should be used in your garden and not in wild areas.

I bloom early in the spring and provide nectar for pollinators before many other sources are available.

I’m have a beautiful blue bloom.

I also have beautiful seed pods and a golden fall foliage.

I sometimes want to get droopy after blooming, but you can trim the top 6 inches off to have a nicer look.
