Tall, Elegant Spikes of Violet-blue Flowers, a Pollinator Magnet
Add vertical elegance and ecological value to your garden with these violet-blue flowering spikes.

Space them 20-25cm (8-10 inches) apart for an impactful display. These flowers thrive in full sun to partial shade and attract bees, butterflies, and other pollinators. Their graceful spikes bloom throughout the summer, making them a perfect choice for borders, naturalistic plantings, or pollinator-friendly gardens.
