Re: Blues in the garden for tough spots

Gilia capitata looks good almost year-round for me in the SF Bay Area. It's a native annual wildflower, about a foot high, grown in a part of the garden that gets summer water. I let some of it go to seed in summer both for wildlife and so that I can collect some seed, so at times some of it looks scruffy. But I get flowers most of the year, and when there aren't flowers, there's usually the beautiful ferny light green foliage.

David, I fear you misunderstood my comments. I absolutely intend to track down the less common dianellas you mention. they sound more interesting than those one commonly finds in the garden.
And Cathy, the Anagallis you suggested is very pretty - it reminds me of lithodora which, by the way, I have tried, as well as several of my plantsperson friends, all with little success. It lasts a year, no more. Anyone have success with it? Or suggestions?
