In spring and summer, large 4-5&#8243; dome-shaped clusters of tiny bright violet-purple flowers form. They are slightly fragrant and somewhat resemble that of a lilac. When dead-headed, plants may rebloom in the fall. Lush potted plants could use some side support to hold the plant in a clump after the top-heavy blooms form.<\/p>\n<p>Plant in full to part sun in most any well-drained soil with regular irrigation. Looks great in casual cottage gardens, near ponds and other water features, and tucked in between ornamental grasses and other plants. Blue Throatwort &#8216;Hamer Pandora&#8217; will remain evergreen in the warmest climates, but for most gardeners it can be treated as a semi-hardy deciduous perennial, which can possibly tolerate temperatures as low as 0\u00b0 F. For those who live in extremely cold winter climates, it can be treated as a long-blooming annual.<\/p>\n<p>Fairly pest free while also attracting birds, butterflies and other beneficial pollinators, which use the flowers as fluffy landing pads.<\/p>\n<p>Easy to germinate. We recommend starting seeds indoors due to their extremely small size. Do not cover seeds with soil in the germination tray.<\/p>\n<p>Long lasting cut flower.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Type: Perennial<\/p>\n<p>Sun exposure: Full sun<\/p>\n<p>Mature height: 2-3 ft<\/p>\n<p>Mature width: 2-3 ft<\/p>\n<p>Hardiness zones: 7-9<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>100 seeds<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":37027,"template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[2602,4596,4573,4599,4669,2600],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-37022","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-all-seeds","product_cat-aromatic","product_cat-cut-flower-floral-bouquets","product_cat-flowers","product_cat-new-returning","product_cat-perennial-flower-seeds","first","instock","taxable","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-simple","add-to-wishlist-before_image"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/athousandflowers.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/37022","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/athousandflowers.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/athousandflowers.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/athousandflowers.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/37027"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/athousandflowers.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=37022"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/athousandflowers.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=37022"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/athousandflowers.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=37022"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/athousandflowers.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=37022"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
