Info='Elwood'.
One of the "Blues Brothers", H. 'Elrod' is a H. 'Halcyon' look-a-like, but much more vigorous and more sun tolerant. It's parents (H. 'Invincible' x H. pycnophylla) make this a very tough plant. The narrow leaves are bright blue top and bottom, and hold their color until frost here on the West Coast. Lavender flowrs atop 18" scapes in mid- summer. Watch for 'Jake' in the near future!
