Comments about American Meadows Little Adder Hyssop:
Use for adding color and filling in bare spots.Gets thick and crowds out weeds. Butterflies and bees love them. Dead heading helps it stay a large mass of beautiful blue flowers. Drought doesn't bother this plant, nor high temperatures and humidity. The large clump looks so attractive!
