Blue Mistflower
Conoclinium coelestinum
Description: Blue Mistflower is a charming perennial wildflower that blankets gardens with clusters of fluffy, powder-blue blooms from late summer to fall. Its spreading growth habit and soft, feathery flowers make it a delightful choice for naturalized landscapes, borders, and pollinator gardens. This low-maintenance beauty thrives in a variety of conditions, bringing effortless color to your garden year after year.
Wildlife Benefits: Blue Mistflower is a magnet for pollinators, drawing bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects with its nectar-rich blooms. In the fall, its seeds attract small birds, adding to its ecological value.
Medicinal Benefits: While primarily admired for its beauty and wildlife benefits, Blue Mistflower has been traditionally used in folk medicine for minor skin irritations and wound care, though its primary appeal today is its ecological role in native plantings.
Native Status: A Southeastern U.S. native, including Georgia, Blue Mistflower thrives in moist meadows, woodland edges, and stream banks, making it a perfect choice for supporting local ecosystems.
Pollinator Friendliness: Its long-lasting, nectar-filled blooms provide critical late-season nourishment for pollinators, particularly butterflies like monarchs preparing for migration.
Planting Guidelines:
Height: 1–3 feet
Spacing: 12–18 inches
Sun/Shade: Prefers Full Sun to Partial Shade
How to Grow: Blue Mistflower thrives in moist, well-draining soils but is tolerant of a range of conditions, including clay and sandy soils. Water regularly during the establishment phase. Its spreading habit makes it an excellent groundcover but may require occasional thinning to control growth.
Add a soft, ethereal touch to your garden with Blue Mistflower—a native favorite that supports pollinators, brightens late-season landscapes, and requires minimal care to thrive.
Available in gallon pots.
