Field Notes

Description:

It is an annual plant growing to 16-35 inches tall, with grey-green branched stems. The leaves are lanceolate. The flowers are an intense blue color, produced in flowerheads.

Habitat:

We live adjacent to a wild area and large lake in North Texas.
Since we love to watch nature, we created a certified wildlife habitat, a certified butterfly habitat, and a half acre garden with over 300 unique plants specifically to attract a wide variety of nature. We also have two large natural koi ponds with stream beds to attract birds, reptiles,butterflies, etc.
We use no insecticides or pest control services.

Notes:

Favorite flower of JFK.
Endangered in United Kingdom, but common in other parts of the world.
