Hardy Hybrids

x weyeriana Boy Blue

 A blue form of B. x weyeriana which flowers from August through until October.

Originally rejected but back in cultivation now, I was lucky enough to get a plant a while back. I like it – big, big leaves in spring and really interesting pale blue flowers with a bright orange eye. Very vigorous but worth a go.
