Eranthemum
pulchellum * Blue Sage |
| I grow this
in light shade, it has not performed in direct light away from the coast. The ovate
dark green leaves have white veins and small teeth.
The true blue flowers come on terminal racemes. It is in bloom from April to hard
frost. It is a native of India. After a season or two each of the branches
dies back to the soil line. If conditions are reasonable numerous new shoots come
up. It survived my dog digging a pit in the middle of the clump. The roots
sprouted where they were exposed. There was some question as to whether the dog
would ever return to my good graces. The plant eventually recovered and so have my
feelings for the dog. He found a new patch of dirt to disturb.
