Beautiful blue flowers are sure to spark interest in your garden!

A few of my favorites blues in the garden: Although there are hundreds if not thousands more blue flowers available, try some this season!

Blue Hydrangea
A big, sky blue hydrangea flower is absolutely breathtaking. Turn your hydrangeas to sky blue by increasing the acidity of the soil. Adding soil sulfur is one way to do this.

Delphinium
Delphiniums offer some of the truest-blue flowers in the garden. Stake taller delphinium varieties to keep the blue flowers from toppling over in the wind. Grow them in soil that’s rich in organic matter.

Grape Hyacinth
A beautiful spring-flowering bulb, grape hyacinths produce clusters of blue flowers in mid-spring. Sun or shade and well-drained soil for these easy to grow perennials.

Salvia
Many salvia varieties have become garden champions for their heat and drought resistance, as well as the fact that even hungry deer and bunnies tend to leave them alone.

Balloon Flower
An easy-to-grow perennial, balloon flower offers puffy, balloon-shape buds that open to beautiful blue star-shaped blooms for several weeks in summer.

Himalayan Blue Poppy
Not a true poppy, the astonishing clarity of the blue. It is the most sought after because it is rarely seen and widely thought to be impossible to grow.
