Oxypetalum caeruleum Heaven Born
$4.75
A compact scrambling climber, Heaven Born exhibits dazzling, bright blue star-shaped blooms held high above gray-green foliage.

Blooming mid-summer through fall, this variety enjoys full sun and rich, well drained soil. An excellent choice for containers and hanging baskets, Heavenly Blue attracts hummingbirds and butterflies. A half-hardy perennial in zones 8-10 but can be grown as an annual and will bloom the first year from seed. Pkt. 15
