at Digging Dog
Including Dracocephalum argunense, Dracocephalum grandiflorum, & Dracocephalum peregrinum
Dracocephalum
Dragon’s Head
If you’re looking for something showy to infill cracks and crevices throughout the rockery, this long-lived charmer could be your choice. A virtually carefree perennial, Dragon Head’s handsome, dark green tidy mounds and terminal spikes of little Snapdragon-like flowers guarantee to captivate, especially when massed. Dracocephalum argunense ‘Fuji Blue’ 
Originating in northeast Asia, this enchanting Dracocephalum boasts polished, needlelike
foliage and brilliant blue helmet-shaped flowers, each highlighted with a light blue lip.
Blooms June–mid-August. Size: 12" high x 10"–12" wide; hardy to zone 5. Dracocephalum argunense Fuji Blue (P-0932)
Each $6.50

Dracocephalum argunense ‘Fuji White’
The namesake for these snowy white flowers was inspired by Japan’s impressive Mt. Fujiyama. Sparkling against distinctive, narrow, deep green foliage, its pronounced lower petals display a hint of light blue.
Blooms June–mid-August. Size: 12" high x 10"–12" wide; hardy to zone 5. Dracocephalum argunense Fuji White (P-0933)
Each $6.50

Dracocephalum peregrinum ‘Blue Dragon’
Although there’s nothing dainty about a dragon, ‘Blue Dragon’ assumes a diminutive stance. Its gleaming bluish green tussock is described by slender miniature leaves. Embellishing the compact, pint-sized foil, large coifed violet-blue flowers unfurl in a vivid pageant that lasts all summer long.
Nestled above a rock wall or along some garden steps where it’s easily seen, this long-lived Russian gem can be partnered with Hebe ‘New Zealand Gold’ for an endearing union.
Blooms June–September. Size: 12" high x 12" wide; hardy to zone 7. Dracocephalum peregrinum Blue Dragon (P-1334)
Each $6.50
