Beth's Blue® plays well with others in mixed borders and pots. A lovely, delicate-looking plant, it has ferny, green leaves with interesting fine texture.

Each fragrant blossom is 1 1/2 inches across and has five lobes. Plant this award winner in late spring and it will bloom through summer until frost.

Beth's Blue® thrives in dry heat. It has few pests, attracts bees, and repels deer and rabbits. A member of the campanula (bellflower family,) Isotoma axillaris is an annual herb of Australia and New Zealand. Use as an edging plant, a mass planting in the landscape, or as a filler in combination pots and window boxes. It is ideal for the mixed flower border. It looks nice spilling over retaining walls.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)

We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty whether you’re new or an expert.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant purchase.
