A true workhorse for the cutting garden, ‘Lake Michigan Blue’ produces domed heads packed with tiny starry blooms in a rich, velvety violet-blue. These cloud-like umbels sit atop strong, upright stems with lush green foliage, adding both volume and depth of colour to bouquets. Long-lasting in the vase and beloved by pollinators, it’s equally at home in borders or as a focal filler in arrangements.

Best for: Cut flower production, bouquet filler, pollinator gardens.


Approx 20 seeds per packet
