OL165: NEW-I Think I Blew Blue It
We don’t give ‘blue’ enough credit. Yes, it’s probably the least common flower and foliage colour, but it’s out there, and more than most of us are aware.
We’ll cover the options and how to use them, from Allium to Salvia azurea (and I’m not just full of Schizachyrium!). Blue softens a garden. Blue appears to recede, so makes a garden look larger. There are blue flowers, foliage and fruit to think about! Learn to add blue to your pallette.
