Love-in-a-Mist 'Miss Jekyll Blue'
Sky blue flowers grace this favorite of Gertrude Jekyll, the famous English garden designer who lent her name to this selection. Ruffs of cut-edged petals are set off by the thread-like foliage, leading to familiar names such as Love-in-a-Puzzle, or Devil-in-a-Bush. Round maroon-striped seed pods soon follow, beautiful in winter arrangements. A seed list offered the species in 1810; the variety 'Miss Jekyll' arrived late in the century.
