Grows to 2½ feet, very robust and stockier than P. glaber and P. alpinus. Leaves are broadly lance-shaped and clasp the stem. Flowers are showy, intense blue-purple crowded on one side of the stems and 1½" long. Sepals are oval with a long tip. The sterile stamen is stout with two lobes and sticks out of the throat. Nobody mentions the crinkly-edged leaves.

Such color! Like you've never seen - this plant is a knock-out! The colors range from the deepest blue to hot pink and darker wine hues. But mostly it's this incredible blue color. The leaves are widely arrow-shaped and clasp the thick stems. They have a groovy crinkle along the edge.

It can grow to 3'! Strong stems and thick leaves are a fabulous glossy gray/green color. Mature plants branch out multiple stems in an incredible display.

 

Rocky, gravelly, well draining soil is what it likes. I find it up high from 9-10,000'. It can take full sun and part shade - I see it on rocky slopes, mixed forests, road cuts and open fields.

1-2 month stratification required or plant in fall or early winter. Barely cover the seed with sand and press in.
