Jasione laevis 'Blue Light' syn. Jasione perennis
Jasione can be annuals, biennials or perennials with pincushion-like, globe heads of small blue flowers. 'Blue Light' is a compact, tufted perennial . The narrow leaves form a rosette and the bright blue flowers appear in Summer.
Planting
From Mid Spring TO Late Spring
Plant in a sunny site in moderately fertile, free-draining soil.
Propagating by division
From Early Autumn TO Mid Autumn
After approximately three years, once herbaceous perennial varieties have become established clumps they should be divided in order to retain vigour. Many herbaceous plants can be divided in autumn, but spring may be the safer option just as they are starting into growth. Autumn division may result in the loss of smaller divisions if a cold, wet winter follows. The simplest method is to carefully dig around the clump and gently pull it apart into fist sized pieces and re-plant immediately. The middle of the original clump should be discarded as this will have lost vigour and become woody.
Flowering
From Early Summer TO Late Summer
The blue pincushion-like flowers appear in early Summer, and continue through Summer
