Description
Canada summer bluets is a very cold-hardy, small size species with an evergreen basal rosette of leaves and lots of white flowers/pink reverse atop slender stems from June to August. The leaves will turn reddish towards the fall. Very similar with H. longifolia in flower, they are distinguished mainly after the foliage characters.
It adapts well to the growing conditions in a rock garden in a sunny and rather moist location (at least seasonally).
Grow it with some of its wild companions: Campanula rotundifolia, Lobelia kalmii, Primula mistassinica,
Prunus pumila, Hypericum kalmianum, Clinopodium arkansanum….
Germination: sow in the fall/winter (cold/moist stratification); the seeds are very small, sow superficial.
