The Mistflower has a lot going for it. It is easy to grow, lasts long as a live or cut flower, and easily attracts bees, butterflies, and birds.
As a benefit to those concerned for the Earth, the Mistflower is a key plant in many natural habitat restoration projects. The lovely blue blooms of the Mistflower gently spread out and reach like tendrils. When you plant Mistflower, you will be rewarded with bright colors and easy growth in your butterfly garden.
