Have you got the Blues?

Blue is such a wonderful color.  It is not often found in flowers, although there are some.

Many of the flowers that are called blue have more of a purple tinge to them.  But you can add blue to your garden with carefully chosen garden accents, seating and other items.

If you like blue in your garden, keep reading for some inspiration.

Singing the Blues in the Garden

Whether it be seating, a planter, or a well placed watering can, these lovely blue accents make the surrounding areas such a pleasant place to gaze upon. 

And don’t forget the blue flowers when you can find them!

This stunning blue garden swing makes the perfect place to read on the corner of this porch. 

I discovered it on a walk to one of my favorite pizza places and just had to take a photo of it!

Blue garden plants, like black plants, are hard to find in nature. This is a true blue perennial salvia flower.  Flowering in my test Garden right now.

This clematis makes a wonderful vine to grow on a mail box.  Not strictly but but fairly close in color.

This minimalist rectangular blue planter is the perfect way to showcase succulents.  They are available from Amazon.

My hydrangea bush in full bloom.  Can you believe this was pink last year? Hydrangeas are a stunner in summer gardens.

Be sure to check out my guide to propagating hydrangeas.  It features a tutorial demonstrating hydrangea cuttings, tip rooting, air layering and division of hydrangea plants.

Some of the earliest of my blue flowers are these blue hyacinths.  Their fragrance is so lovely and the blooms are lush and gorgeous.
