A fellow gardener from Ballinger has asked if I would try and find out
about a plant with the name of 'Butcher's Blue' or, she says, it might
be Blue Butcher.
She doesn't know what the rest of the name is, I gather she saw it in a
garden near Banbury, but she would love to buy a plant.
I've suggested Butcher's broom but she says it's definitely got BLUE in
the name.
Any suggestions?
I will get her to send a description if that helps.
Can't think of one offhand, though I'll consult the Oracle. ;-) She's
not
thinking of Perovskia Blue Spire or Ruta graveolens Jackman's Blue, is
she?
Or Butchers Broom even?
