A true color chameleon, you'll wonder if it is the same plant from day to day in your garden during its summer bloom. Upright with stiff stems, 'Blue Paradise' forms a column of deep green foliage and stems that tops itself with an extended dome of flower buds in late June. These buds enlarge and open in early July to form rounded heads of light blue flowers that are scented and loaded with sweet butterfly and hummingbird satisfying nectar. The flowers are attractive enough but they suddenly become even more attractive as, day by day, they darken to a deep violet-blue and then to violet-red giving you an ever changing pallette of color that you will cherish. Plant 'Blue Paradise' in groups toward the back of any garden and make sure you provide it with full sun and ample airflow. 'Blue Paradise' has great mildew tolerance but still needs the great air flow to keep this fungus at bay
