Cupid's Dart
Cupid's dart is a perennial flower that forms clumps of grassy, grey-green leaves. In mid-summer, tall stalks support two-inch, papery, dandelion-shaped solitary blue flowers.
Cupid's dart can be a prolific bloomer from mid-summer to autumn. The flowers are very pretty, but the plant itself is rather narrow. Plant it amongst other landscape plants with a larger shape for a nice display. Very drought tolerant.
