Tip of the Week
The blue mist shrub, also known as "bluebeard" is a small shrub that produces feathery blue flowers starting in August and lasting till frost.
These shrubs can be bunched together and used as an informal hedge or as an accent to low growing perennials.
Care should be taken when planting your blue mist shrubs. These shrubs like to be in a bed with excellent drainage. Blue mists also thrive when organic matter is mixed in with the soil.
