When I talk about wanting more blue flowers in my front Monet Garden this is what I am talking about.
This Centauree "Jubilee Gem" is one I sowed directly into my front lasagna garden this past spring. The plants are much taller than the 6" the packet predicts. I daresay they are 'leggy'; my entire front garden gets less sun than predicted.
Today for the first time I smelled one and was pleasantly surprised. I have been feeling the pressure of much to do before the cold weather sets in and this gentle reminder of the value of literally stopping to smell the flowers was most welcome.
