Blue Skyflower (Hydrolea corymbosa)
Full sun
Bloom time: Summer into fall
High water needs
Size: Up to 2' tall
The lovely blue flowers open in the morning and traditionally close by the end of the day. Plants occur naturally in freshwater marshes, swamps, ponds, and ditches. The flowers don’t produce much nectar, so butterflies are infrequent visitors. They attract mostly bees, which are necessary for the plant’s self-pollination. Winter dormant in cool weather. Will spread via suckering.
