Mid-late spring into summer: loose spikes of small clustered flowers form lavender-blue haze above undulating mounds of soft gray-green 1-inch leaves. Delicate contrast to stiffer perennials; excellent underplanting for roses. Cold-climate alternative to lavender.
Moderate water, takes more if well-drained. Unsightly post-bloom spikes? Shear with hedge clippers—may encourage second late-summer flush. Floppy entire plant? Shear by two-thirds. Division rarely needed.
