I have decided that blue flowers are my favourites and I want some more!

So far, I have..
Hydrangea
Brunnera
Forget me not
Borage
Lithodora
salvia blue butterflies
Bluebells
Agapanthus

Can you recommend me something lovely? The bluer (less purple!), the better!

I have some lovely blue anemone but they came in a mixed bunch of corms not colour specific. Ditto gladioli.

Trailing Lobelia.

Nigella AKA love-in-the-mist. It’s an annual but self seeds.

A sprinkling of flax is lovely too. Another annual of course.

I had a blue bouquet when we got married.

Love all of these suggestions, thank you!

Where is BC, out of interest? Is it in the UK?

On top of all the lovely ones you already have:
hyacinths
delphiniums
ceanothus - tree or shrub

LoveFall · 14/08/2021 20:34

BC is British Columbia, in Canada.

ChardonnaysPetDragon · 14/08/2021 20:38

Delphiniums

GiantKitten · 14/08/2021 20:40

Plumbago - looks like pale blue pelargonium.
I love it but I think Lancs is too cold and damp. I was told of a more robust version but I forget what.
Delphiniums - these bits had broken off from some flowers I was sent recently. Astonishing colour.

Plumbago is described as phlox-like here?
