Re: Favorite Spring Perennials/ Mertensia
Gene,
Are you familiar with Mertensia maritima var. asiatica? This one doesn't go
summer dormant and has silverish, bluish foliage that forms a tight rosette.
Foliage appears late March, early April. It has blue flowers, likes full
sun to partial shade and very well-drained soil. It is also a salt tolerant
plant.
I found seed on one of the seed exchanges last winter, had it germinate and
finally planted it out, but I fear that I lost it to the drought. I will
definitely try it again for the foliage, it is quite attractive.
