any of the borage family - borage, alkanet, Viper's Bugloss  ;D what a name. Was tremendously impressed with blue pimpernel, completely the wrong colour, but probably a diabolical weed like our one

Anchusa azurea 'dropmore'......tall and beautiful, and the bees love it! ;D

phacelia ,or is that lavender colour, if it is, I agree agapanthus and borage  ;D

[GrannieAnnie]

What about karyopteris (sp?).  I've had very limited success- never is perennial for me- but love that deep blue.  The Heavenly Blue Morning Glory is also a favorite.

Thanks Squash64 - it was taken with a Canon G5 which was a great camera but long out of production - I use a Nikon D90 now

Honeywort - major purpurascens cerinthe... one of the bees favourites too

And your problem is....? ;D

Actually I have a much bigger problem with borage taking over!
I'd forgotten about cerinthe- love its translucent colour.
