This variety matches the performance and hardiness of its predecessors but features a new indigo blue flower color. 'Blue Bayou' is quite compact, perfect for use in the front or middle of the border. In northern zones, it typically blooms from midsummer through early fall but in southern zones it starts blooming much earlier. Best in full sun with well drained soil.
