One picture is just as beautiful as the next! I am a sucker for blue flowers, and this one looks like a great one to put under my oak tree. I'll be checking out the garden center for this one. The variegated foliage really is beautiful!

Mine too. Great job Margaret! Others aren't as delicate and distinct as Bris D'anjou. I just wish I could get it to survive here for more than 3 years.

Thanks for the introduction to the pretty blue flowers. I love them. Will have to keep them in mind when picking out some flowers to go with the love-in-the-mist I want to get some day soon.

Thanks everyone for your nice comments!
Woffie, it is indeed well worth giving it a try, it's an overall lovely plant.
Evan, I don't see why it shouldn't last longer than 3 years for you, I see your zone 6, much milder than my 3a, maybe location, too dry or too wet, too much sun or shade??

Thank you Julia and Tee for the nice comments.
Evan, do you mulch your plant? With my plant being under a poplar tree it gets lots of leaf protection, I'm sure that helps it through our long cold winters.

Love Polemonium caeruleum 'Brise d'Anjou' too, Maragaret.
I particularly like the creaminess (yellow/white) of the "white" part of the leaves.
Have a number of Brunnera macrophylla cultivars, though I think 'Variegata' is the most striking.
I've bought the plants as 'Dawson's White'.
I should start nipping reversions out.
Thought I'd do an update on the Brise d'Anjou I ordered. They just arrived today and I'm very pleased! A new supplier for me and I'm quite impressed. The plants look wonderful and were amazingly securely packed. They're small, but so was the price. The company name is Morningsun Herb Farm in Vacaville, CA, in case anyone else is interested.
