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 peregrinum ‘Blue Dragon’ full sun  partial shade

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.
