Hardy Annual. Clusters of blue flowers appear on branching stems in spring and early summer. Use in the border or as an edging plant as it has a compact, low form. Literally covered with blue blooms, this choice garden plant blooms best when nights are cool. 'Blue Angel' grows to about 9 inches high and is a good performer.
