Blue Wishbone Flower is a bushy annual with toothed green foliage noted for its two-lipped deep true blue to purple-blue flowers that bloom from summer until frost. Grows best with good indirect sun in consistently moist well-drained fertile soils. Excellent for containers or as a houseplant. Container plants can be brought indoors for a winter bloom. The Summer Wave series has a stronger bloom and is self-cleaning.
