What are your favourite blue flowers?

[Shinyandnew1]

I love blue flowers and am trying to squeeze some more into the garden this year! I have forget me nots, borage, salvia, Felicia, brunnera, Alkanet (I know it’s a thug, but I have a little patch of it as I love the flowers!).

Can anyone recommend me some more to try to find? The more blue (not purple!), the better!

My lithodora diffusa heavenly blue is looking fab at the moment. The most vivid blue flower i know.

I'm also eyeing up delphinium faust, but have just planted delphinium summer skies

Delphinium.

Meconopsis aka Himalayan poppies. I had them at my old house and after 15 years here I ordered some last week.

I also love a delphinium but so do the slugs and snails 🐌

Caryopteris, especially the one with lime green leaves because it's such a lovely contrast.

Ceanothus (some are azure). Agapanthus. Gentian. In Spring, chianodoxa and scillia. Are grape hyacinths and Geranium "Johnson's Blue" too purple for you?

Have you thought about Ceanothus? shrub in various sizes and shades of blue. Or just coming into flower now or two weeks ago if you're Monty Don a lovely bulb called Camassia

these are one of my favourites as well as agapanthus

I grew balloon flowers aka Chinese bellflowers from seed. They are lovely. No good at posting pics but do google them.

I love blue flowers too. We have:
Nigella
Bearded Iris
Scabiosa/pincushion flower
Morning glory
Hardy Geranium
Plumbago (the South African one)

Are bluebells too obvious?
Bugle.
Do pulmonaria and ajuga count, or are they too purple-y.
You can get blue varieties of cranesbill geranium.

Canterbury bell.

Lithodora, skylover, brachyscome multifida and hibiscus.

I like scabious; such a pretty colour and they are easy to grow

Forget me nots. They go a bit mad as they self seed but they look beautiful against my tulips.

Cornflowers. One came up from our bird seed

Definitely cornflowers

Cornflower.

Cornflowers, I put seed in the corners of the garden.

x-post cornflowers everywhere. Must be self-seeding!

Lithodora is true blue, but likes an acid soil. Brunnera is nice too, as is its relative Omphalodes, a small growing plant for shade.

Lots of my favourites already listed, but Nigella / Love in the mist is a beautiful sky blue too. Will self seed.

One of my neighbours has a bright blue fleabane - no idea what it is called but very pretty mounds of blue daisies

Ooh I like all the suggestions.
I will suggest Ceratostigma willmottianum forest blue (perennial comes back every year)

and Lobelia 'Cambridge' is a true blue

Blue hydrangeas!
