Terrapin Gardens, Perennials

Beautiful gentian blue flowers are shy to emerge but bloom for a long time (especially if deadheaded) in mid to late summer. Reaches 18-24" in height. This Mexican native is a tender perennial (hardy in Zones 8-10). In colder climates, it can be dug out of the ground in the fall and stored over winter for planting the next year, or grown as an annual.

'Blue Angel' -- Gentian blue flowers
'Guanajuato' -- Larger flowers in the same deep blue as 'Blue Angel' on a taller (5-6 foot) plant
'White Trophy' -- White flowers
'Cambridge Blue' -- Light, icy blue flowers
'Lavender Lady' -- Pale, lavender-blue flowers
