    The petals are so nice and blue! The ones around here are generally more purple. Did you know that they bioaccumulate metals in the soil and are good candidates for cleaning up polluted areas? Stinks that they are invasive though. Posted 7 years ago

      Oh wow! I had no idea it was a bioremediator! I suppose that invasive quality could be used to an advantage there! There are so many cool plants! Posted 7 years ago
