Care & Growing Tips

Plant 'Blue Note' in full sun and moderately fertile, well-drained soil. Water regularly while plants establish, then let the soil dry slightly between waterings. Avoid consistently wet or poorly drained conditions.

Deadhead spent flowers regularly to encourage new blooms and keep plants looking tidy. Removing older stems at the base helps maintain a compact mound of foliage throughout the growing season.

Growing Tip: For the best flowering, give 'Blue Note' plenty of sunlight and remove faded blooms before they begin producing seed. Regular deadheading can significantly extend its flowering display.

-Plants ship in a grower's pot, fully rooted.
-We ship every Monday and Tuesday (excluding holidays) to avoid weekend delays.
-Our photos show what you can expect, but each plant is unique and may look slightly different upon arrival.
-Minor damage during shipping is entirely normal and should be expected, especially in extreme summer or winter temperatures. Don’t worry—damaged foliage can be trimmed away and will not affect the plant's root system or overall health.
