Product Details

Indigo Blue Dragonhead

Dracocephalum ruyschiana

Indigo Blue Dragonhead produces tall spikes of rich blue to indigo flowers that create a strong vertical presence in the landscape. The blooms rise above narrow green foliage, adding height and movement to planting designs. Its bold color attracts pollinators and enhances both naturalistic and structured plantings. The flower spikes bloom progressively, extending the visual interest over time and keeping the plant looking dynamic throughout the season. Its upright form pairs well with lower-growing perennials, creating layered and balanced compositions. Reaching about 12 to 18 inches tall and wide at maturity, this perennial develops an upright, balanced form that works beautifully in borders, meadow plantings, and accent areas.

  • Herbaceous flowering perennial
  • Indigo-blue flower spikes
  • Upright, vertical growth habit
  • Moderate growth rate
  • Excellent for borders, meadow plantings, and accents

Indigo Blue Dragonhead thrives in full sun with well-drained soil. Hardy in USDA zones 3 through 8, it delivers strong vertical structure, pollinator appeal, and vibrant seasonal color to Texas landscapes.
