** 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 othersources are available.

I’m tolerant of sun and soils conditions.

I’m have a beautiful blue bloom.

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