Not to be outdone by the other award-winning members of this series, ‘Ellagance Sky’ won the Fleuroselect Gold Medal in 2006. The judges based their selection on similar criteria: quick crop time, uniformity, floridity, a basally branched habit, and its unique flower color. This is the first variety of first year flowering L. angustifolia to have light violet blue flowers. They are produced in abundance atop bushy mounds of silver-green foliage from midsummer through early fall.
‘Ellagance Sky’ makes a lovely edging but can also be used in containers or planted in drifts.
