Hidcote Blue is pollinator friendly, deer resistant, rabbit resistant, and container friendly. Plant will be shipped in dormant state potentially from fall to early spring (metabolic inactivity-shredded foliage and minimal branches). Please note that plant will/can produce full size flowers in the first year with proper care and optimal growing environment.
