There is an increasing demand for plants and flowers able to accommodate gardens and decks with limited square footage. Although suited to any garden, urban gardeners will adore the striking features of Blue Skywalker, aka Speedwell: gorgeous lavender-blue flower spikes stretch upward from a dense, upright habit of dark green foliage. Ideal when space is at a premium. This perennial will do well in most well-drained soils, even better with the addition of generous quantities of organic matter. Full sun is best, though plants tolerate partial shade. Grows to a height of 28-30 inches and a spread of 18-20 inches. Blooms appear mid-summer, as will the bees.
