Didiscus Blue Lace Seeds

A delightful half hardy annual commonly known as Blue Lace Flower.

 

It's an elegant and delicate annual prized for its clusters of soft blue, lace-like blooms. The Latin name Didiscus comes from the Greek words "di" meaning "two" and "discus" meaning "disc," referring to the plant’s distinctive flower shape.
