Blue Mistflower (Conoclinium coelestinum) is a low-growing, late-season bloomer that thrives where many other plants falter—in wet soils, clay-heavy areas, and along streambanks or rain gardens. This 32-plant pack is ideal for filling in tricky spots with vibrant color and pollinator activity.
From late summer into fall, Blue Mistflower is topped with clouds of fuzzy, electric lavender-blue flowers that are highly attractive to butterflies, especially species that rely on its nectar for beneficial chemical compounds. It makes an excellent groundcover in moist conditions, spreading readily to form dense colonies that suppress weeds and support pollinators late in the season.
In ideal conditions, it can be an enthusiastic spreader, so occasional thinning or border control may be desired in more formal gardens.
Why Choose a Tray of Blue Mistflower?
Plant Blue Mistflower in full sun to part shade where moisture is consistent, and enjoy its lush texture and pollinator appeal well into the fall.
