This rare dragonhead species has deep blue, hooded flowers in late spring to early summer. I'm especially fond of it because it blooms at a time when there are few other flowers in the garden.
Try it with other early bloomers like alyssum, iberis, lychnis and columbine. Also known as Dragon's Head or Dracocephalum tangutica. Hardy in zones 4-9.
height 12"
Sowing Dracocephalum Seeds:
Sow indoors 10 weeks before the last frost date. Barely cover the seeds, then refrigerate 3 weeks. Hardy in zones 4-9. Full sun to part shade. Provide afternoon shade in hot summer areas.
