With its long racemes of pale-blue flowers that lean out to the horizontal, pointing in the same direction, this distinctive cultivar is one that is perhaps better described as quirky rather than beautiful. Certainly distinctive. 1.5m.<\/p>\n

Beetroot-red, glossy early foliage and red stems taper into long reddish buds that open into two-toned racemes of pale-pink and deep-pink flowers. It is more compact than many other cultivars and was selected by Ernst Pagels. 1.2m.<\/p>\n

\u00a9 Torie Chugg<\/i> <\/span>\n<\/div>\n
A cultivar that offers some of the longest tapers of pure-white flowers that are held over pale-green foliage. This cultivar is not as robust as many and usually requires staking but the emerging silvery greenish-white foliage in spring is beautiful. 1.35m.<\/p>\n

With lavender-blue spikes that mature to golden brown seedheads, this cultivar is shorter, has broader foliage and flowers earlier than manyVeronicastrum virginicum<\/em> cultivars, so I suspect some Veronicastrum sibiricum<\/em> influence. 1.4m.<\/p>\n
