POLEMONIUM 'JACOB'S LADDER AND OTHER BLUE FLOWERS

Although I don't consciously pick plants of a particular colour to grow in my garden, I have found that I have a great deal of blue flowering plants.  At the moment, in the south-facing border of my back garden, the perennials: Polemonium 'Jacob's Ladder' is in full bloom; Veronica spicata 'Ulster Blue Dwarf' is about to burst into bloom; and Hebe 'Purple Pixie' (Hebe 'Mohawk') is in plentiful bud when you consider that I pruned it back rather harshly this spring.  On the north-facing border, which still gets afternoon sun, the border edging of  the upright annual Lobelia 'Crystal Palace', which I planted for the first time last year and will probably plant again next year, is looking fabulous.
