Blue-tiful Blue Flowering Perennials

True blue is a captivating hue and an elusive color in the world of perennials, but there are some flowers that come close. Allow me to introduce you to some ‘blue-tiful’ perennials.

Unfortunately, some of these plants are coveted by deer and rabbit. Protect them with organic Plantskydd, the number one most tested, most effective, and longest lasting repellent on the market.

Not only does Plantskydd act like an invisible wall to refrain munchers, it’s also a fertilizer, rich in nitrogen. Plantskydd will keep you from ‘signing the blues’ so you can enjoy a ‘blue-tiful’ day!
