PGNE Report Card
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | B+ | Blue spring flowers plus golden fall foliage give it two seasons of interest in a small package. |
| Growth Rate | B | It fills in steadily and returns reliably without spreading aggressively. |
| Maintenance | A- | Once established it is very low-maintenance; a spring cutback is about all it needs. |
| Deer Resistance | A- | Deer usually pass this by, since the foliage deters browsing, though no plant is completely immune where pressure is severe. |
| Small Space Fit | A- | Its compact, mounded habit fits neatly into smaller beds and edges. |
| Screening Value | D | It is a low, flowering perennial, not a screen. |
Our Experience
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend Blue Ice for customers who want dependable blue flowers, strong fall color, and a plant deer tend to leave alone. Give it sun to part shade and average, well-drained soil.
