7. PEROVSKIA ATRIPLICIFOLIA 'BLUE JEAN BABY'
When I worked in the retail sector in early 1980s, the number of perovskia
varieties was limited to atriplicifolia and a few other selected varieties. Even
through 2010 the offering was minimal consisting primarily of atriplicifolia,
Filigran, Little Spire, Longin and Blue Spire. Since then, the breeding, trialing
and introduction of new vegetative and seed varieties has been monumental
and impactful. We now have cultivars from multiple breeders that offer
different sizes, forms, and varied hues of blue.
I want to recognize 'Blue Jean Baby', which has been trialed at Colorado
State and other trials the past few years and never disappoints. It has been
most impressive, characterized by its floriferousness, vigor and upright habit
maturing at 30 to 36 inches. The lavender-blue flowers with contrasting
purple calyxes are eye-catching. This variety has excellent application in
landscape settings where a strong upright accent plant is required. It is
hardy to Zone 4 and, as with all perovskia, it is drought tolerant, aromatic,
low maintenance and provides outstanding color mid-summer to early fall.
