Finally! We have Tweedia! And not *just* the traditional variety that goes by the name ‘Heavenly Blue’. You’ll notice Heavenly Blue is the cheapest selection (lowest price per plug), as it has been around the longest and is not quite as refined as the other three varieties we are offering. It is still a beautiful star-shaped blue flower, so if this is your first go with Tweedia don’t shy away from this variety. 

For those of you looking for a little more oomph, try Tweedia ‘Pure Blue’ - not only does it have the purest blue color, it also has a rounder, more desirable flower shape. To me the flowers resemble the shape of Cynoglossum flowers. Stems of ‘Pure Blue’ will be stronger and taller, but all Tweedia benefit from a layer or two of support netting to keep the stems as straight as possible. 

Both ‘Blue Double Mix’ and ‘Pint White Double Mix’ will have an even mix of single, semi-double and fully-double flowers. All forms are gorgeous! The first flowering stems of all Tweedia varieties will be short, but subsequent stems will continue to elongate. Keep the plants deadheaded and cut unused stems all the way down to the base of the plant. 

Tweedia are in the milkweed family and will emit a milky sap when cut. We suggest you harvest in the coolest part of the day and let your cut stems hydrate in the cooler overnight before you need them. If you are having a hard time with wilting stems, a heat treatment to the cut end of the stem will often seal off the sap and help with hydration.

We don't have exact hardiness data, but they are winter hardy in some locations, even locations that freeze. We welcome your feedback.
