Cape bugloss is a vibrant wildflower native to South Africa, known for its striking deep blue to purple flowers. Its foliage is rough, with narrow leaves that support the tubular blossoms, each marked by a white center. Thriving in well-drained soil and full sun, cape bugloss adds a splash of color to rockeries and borders while adapting well to dry conditions.
Pruning:
Cape bugloss features vibrant blue flowers. Prune in early to late spring after frost, removing dead stems to promote growth. Thinning enhances air circulation and minimizes disease risk. Regular deadheading extends blooming, ensuring a healthier appearance. Follow regional guidelines for best outcomes.
