Hello Marilyn,
"G. `Johnson's Blue' Abundant, spoon-shaped, light blue flowers with reddish
veins on a compact plant whose leaves, intermediate between G. pratense and G.
himalayense, are mid green with a slight gray tinge. (S) l8x24" Z. 5-6 (Sp.-Su.)"
The above is a cut and paste from the site you recommended below.For two
lines, it comes pretty close... close enough to just about match my JB here in the
garden. However, mine is minimum of two feet in height and a bit above, strong
stems and very stiffly upright in growth habit. At least on the initial emerging
stems. I will try and catch a few seeds this week, if you are interested.
