Named after its drooping blue
flowers that resemble the hood on a monk's robe, this lovely
flower is a favorite for fall gardens.
It grows about 2 to 3 feet tall
and is a nice complement to the many daisy-like flowers more
commonly blooming in fall.
Notable Varieties
'Bicolor' has blue and white
flowers.
Care
Water moderately unless plant is in full sun, then water more
often. Fertilize with a slow-release fertilizer or by scratching
a spadeful or two of compost into the soil around the plants
base two or three times during the growing season. This plant
dislikes dividing or transplanting. Stake if plant becomes floppy.
