Get Color With A Blue Flower Plant For Your Garden

Since perennial blue flower plants bloom for only a couple of weeks, you should contrive your garden so that each area will be colorful all season by planting these flowers that bloom at different times near each other - that way one spot of your garden won't look barren once the blooms are spent. Pinching dead flowers from your plants will cause it to bring out more flowers and be good for the overall wellness of the perennial.

Below is a list of blue flowering plants that you might want to have for your garden:

Ajuga - Bronze Beauty - This ground carpet has short spikes of blue flowers and quickly carpets an area and also does well in plant holders. Flowering in in spring, this plant will do better in a wooded or shady area.
