I bought this little mystery perennial at a closing out sale. There was only one and it didn't have a tag, and the saleperson had no idea what it was!!
It has small one inch blue flowers...which fell off before I could get a decent picture of it!
Any ideas as to what it is....

Ron ~ if YOU don't know what it is, who does??! You know, sometimes I just stare and stare at a picture and I think "I should know what that is" but the name won't come to me.
Perhaps you can find it here:
www.virtualplanttags.com/BlueFloweringPerennials
There are twelve pages of blue beauties and maybe you'll get lucky ~ the pics are small but you can click to enlarge. Hope someone else can be more helpful and saves you from having to look through a gazillion photos!

This looks like my brittoniana ruella. It spreads very slowly and looks great
as a border plant.

That's it!
Thanks yardgranny!
I'm not familiar with Ruella.
Looks like I'll need to bring it indoors in the fall, and stick it under my growlites for the winter months!!
Hardy in zones 8, 9, and 10.

Even I get stumped every now and then!!

Ron,
Did we identify the artemisia correctly?
Thanks
