Blue on blue

The Blue Mist Spirea is in full bloom and it is stunning – and possibly stinging, since it is literally buzzing with bees and moths and butterflies.

Beautiful!! Ours are also blooming, and they have totally become one of my favorite plants--mostly because of the constant life on them--we have seen so many different varieties of bees and butterflies--Worth every penny!

This Blue Mist Spirea is gorgeous! I've never seen it before. We have the pink variety, but I think we need to plant some of the blue (my FAVORITE color!) next spring. Would love to have this lovely color in September!

Thanks for showing it to us!

Melanie, I just looked at your photos and I love how you've planted them in a row! I wish we'd done that. They're too crowded on this little plot.

We have a couple small pink spirea, too, and they are beautiful, but I do like that the blue blooms so much later.
