Its clusters of deep blue flowers bloom robustly from late spring to early summer, radiating a profound burst of color that draws in beneficial pollinators such as butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds. The Skylark's rounded, dark green leaves create a striking contrast to the vivid floral display, maintaining an alluring verdant backdrop throughout the year.
