They're overused in many areas, but it's because they're such a performer! Petunias are enjoying a resurgence of popularity now, so Stellas will likely regain respect someday, too! Gardeners can be a fickle bunch. LOL.<br /><br /><b>Greensparrow ~ </b>Hey! That's a very real possibility! Let's talk in the spring and for sure let's get together sometime then! :-)<br /><br /><b>jodi ~ </b>Yes, that seems to be it. Fortunately, they aren't commonplace here. But I'm like you - any blue flower is welcome at Our Little Acre!<br /><br /><b>Dirt Digger ~ </b>I hear you, but from the business owner's point of view, constant bloom is a good thing. What I don't like about the use of <i>any</i> daylilies is the fact that no one cleans them up! They aren't a no-care plant.<br /><br /><b>Lisa ~ </b>I'm thinking the same thing, Lisa. It had to settle in before it deemed our garden worthy of its beautiful blue blooms! ;-)<br /><br /><b>Annelie ~ </b>I learned that about hydrangeas on one of the gardening shows. I can't remember which one now, but it explained a couple of hydrangeas in my own garden, too!<br /><br /><b>Helen ~ </b>I think it's simply 'Hardy Blue' but I'm not positive. I can't locate the plant tag just now. For a color reference, this is exactly the same color as my <i>Gentiana dahurica</i> - a deep, true blue. Gorgeous!<br /><br /><b>Dave ~ </b>For sure <i>you</i> could grow these, Dave!Kylee Baumlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04288354709094515651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070488376505303445.post-1028158871193356042010-09-03T09:05:28.368-04:002010-09-03T09:05:28.368-04:00beautiful flowersbeautiful flowersh&ehttp://myhobbyblog.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070488376505303445.post-91864338095812336472010-09-03T08:48:49.088-04:002010-09-03T08:48:49.088-04:00All plants have their uses...well...except the wee...All plants have their uses...well...except the weeds, so I wouldn't worry about agapanthus being like Stella!

Didn't know so...That indigo color is beautiful.<br />Didn't know some hydrangeas are leaf hardy, but not flower hardy. That might explain a thing or two in my garden.Anneliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15847120532617273114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070488376505303445.post-68009230822090472322010-09-02T18:39:39.620-04:002010-09-02T18:39:39.620-04:00I didn't know there was a hardy agapanthus. I ...I didn't know there was a hardy agapanthus. I killed some when I lived much further south in Zone 6. Obviously it wasn't this variety. Maybe it is one of those plants that have to get established before blooming. Any way, it is worth the wait.

Familiarity breeds contempt. I couldn't be contemptuous about any blue-flowered plant, though. Not a chance.
