Leadplant

Leadplant stands out in the landscape with its unique, silvery-blue leaves that provide a beautiful contrast to its vibrant purple flower spikes, which appear in early to mid-summer. The blooms are rich in nectar, drawing in bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, Leadplant is also valued for its ability to fix nitrogen in the soil, enhancing soil health and supporting surrounding plant life.
