Butcher's Blue?
In article , Sacha
writes 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? No she's quite a clued up gardener, apparently she asked the owner of the garden and she was told that the variety was Butcher's Blue. She's wading through all plants with blue in the name at the moment via the Plantfinder! She likes cottagey stuff so I am assuming it's a perennial or a hardy annual.

Butcher's Blue?
In article , Uncle Marvo
writes Butcher's blue is a colour, not a variety. Like cobalt blue, royal blue etc. Or like buddleia "royal purple", for instance. http://www.broadstripebutchers.co.uk...ad_Stripe_Butc her_s_Apron.html It's nearly black, see? HTH Sort of reflex blue then? Thanks for the mention of the colour, I'll pass it on! janet -- Janet Tweedy Dalmatian Telegraph http://www.lancedal.demon.co.uk |

Janet Sorry Janet there are no entries for Butchers, and only 2 for Butcher and both of those are Malus varieties. I would suggest it was a description of the colour. -- Charlie Pridham, Gardening in Cornwall www.roselandhouse.co.uk Holders of national collections of Clematis viticella cultivars and Lapageria rosea |

Presumably because no one sells the plants they do not appear in the plant finder :~) Googling world-wide on "Butchers blue" -apron -candy gives several hundred hits not one of which refers to a plant, so I'm inclined to the view it doesn't exist as a variety name. (-apron gets rid of most of the butchers apron type sites. Don't ask about the -candy) -- Kay |

Pridham writes Sorry Janet there are no entries for Butchers, and only 2 for Butcher and both of those are Malus varieties. I would suggest it was a description of the colour. I know! How irritating is that! She is sure that's what the owner of the garden said but of curse it might 'sound' like Butcher's Blue or Blue Butcher I guess. Still thank you for trying. I also looked which was why I wondered at first about Butcher's broom -- Janet Tweedy Dalmatian Telegraph http://www.lancedal.demon.co.uk |

writes She isn't a teensy bit hard of hearing is he? Butcher's Blue actually being Butcher's Broom? Well she'd only in her late 30's! However that's what I thought at first myself Sacha. She's got a lovely old garden, about 2 acres and a few pigs and chicken. Bees and doves so she likes olde worlde things. She appeared in Amateur gardener last year seated on a huge wavy bench/seat that her husband made for her. She'd really arty so when she's sees something she likes she goes all out to get that one particular colour or plant She'd never buy three on the way up the nursery aisle before getting to the one she came for like several of us -- Janet Tweedy Dalmatian Telegraph http://www.lancedal.demon.co.uk |
