PEROVSKIA atriplicifolia BLUE STEEL

A perennial first: Now you can grow high-quality, affordable Perovskia from professional-grade seed.

Blue Steel has higher and much more uniform germination than other seed varieties so you’ll grow top-notch plugs easily and efficiently.
No vernalisation or overwintering is needed, so production time is slashed. And grown beside leading vegetative varieties, you can’t see a difference.

Sturdy, controlled habit in the landscape is comparable to the vegetative leader.

Combines the best Summer-blooming lavender-blue colour with outstanding late-season garden performance.

Aromatic, silvery foliage carries clouds of small blue flowers on strong silver stems that do not break or split easily.

High flower show rate with 1 to 3 plugs per 1-gallon container or 3 to 5 per 2-gallon container.

It’s affordable to use multiple plugs in each pot and always finish with huge retail appeal.

Pinch for optimal branching.
