RE: H. 'Deep Blue Sea'

One that catchs my eye in my garden at the moment is 
H. Black Jack.  Not sure if it is considered a true
'blue' or not but it is by far the darkest and one of
the best looking at the moment.

Also adding some intrest in the garden is H. Mohegan.
Mine was a bit stunted by late frost but is darker than
it has been in the past.  Very nice.

Steve has a great list of blues, and I certainly agree that H. 'Deep
Blue
Sea' is a spectacular blue. For me, nothing else touches. Here in
Vermont
it is not 'a wonderful grower and early frost can stunt its growth for a
season, but when its good, it's spectacular.

Steve did leave one of his list which has a powerful impact on me.  I
think
its progenitor is from the Tardiana line, and it has some undulation
which
makes it special. The color is as good as 'Deep Blue Sea' but the leaf
shape and  corrugation are not there. I am talking about H. 'Winfield
Blue'. it is also a treasure. H. 'Salute ' is right up there too.  glen
