Okay, so the Virginia Extension Office is encouraging folks to plant "America's Anniversary Garden" in honor of the 400th anniversary of the founding of Jamestown.

I can do white and red impatiens, but thoughts for blue? We're talking easy to plant/grow, etc.

Discuss.

What were those little blue flowers you had last year, Hair?

[Overtaxed]

Here are a few suggestions:

lisianthus

Morning glory

Laurentia

Campanula

Forget-me-not

Texas Blubonnet

Virginia bluebell

I haven't checked out the growing conditions for all of them, but I think the Virginia bluebells (they're perennial, by the way) and the forget-me-nots grow in partial shade. There might be some blue varieties of other flowers like petunias or columbine about.

Evening Corin, that's a great website the VA Extension Office has for the celebration. Lots of choices there.

Bachelor's buttons are blue. There's some blue 'tunias, too.

How about lobelias? Heh, that's my Hobbit name, by the way.

This is Lobelia, Laguna Sky Blue
