Sisyrinchium Devon Skies is a charming clump-forming perennial prized for its masses of soft sky-blue flowers that appear above neat, grassy foliage throughout spring and summer. Despite its delicate appearance, this tough and reliable plant is surprisingly hardy, making it an excellent choice for borders, rock gardens, cottage gardens and mass planting.

The cheerful blue blooms open on sunny days and create a natural, meadow-like effect that looks beautiful when planted in drifts. Easy to grow and low maintenance, Sisyrinchium Devon Skies is a fantastic addition to gardens seeking long-lasting colour with minimal effort.

Sisyrinchium Devon Skies brings a relaxed, natural charm to the garden. Its fine foliage provides year-round structure while the soft blue flowers add colour without overwhelming neighbouring plants.

It looks particularly effective planted alongside salvias, penstemons, lavender, dianthus and ornamental grasses, where its delicate flowers can weave through surrounding foliage.

How to maintain your Sisyrinchium 'Devon Skies' once established?

This variety thrives in well-drained soil and dislikes prolonged wet conditions.

Before planting:

Improve heavy soils with compost and organic matter
Ensure adequate drainage
Avoid waterlogged sites, particularly during winter.
Water regularly during establishment to encourage a strong root system.
Once established, Sisyrinchium Devon Skies is relatively drought tolerant and generally only requires watering during extended dry periods.
Apply a light application of general-purpose fertiliser or compost in spring to encourage healthy foliage and flowering. Excessive fertiliser is rarely required.

Deadheading
Removing spent flower stems can help keep plants tidy and encourage additional flowering throughout the season.
Regular deadheading also helps prevent unwanted self-seeding.

Remove old flower stems after flowering
Trim away damaged or untidy foliage as needed
Tidy clumps in late winter before fresh spring growth begins
If plants become crowded after several years, divide clumps in spring or autumn to rejuvenate growth and create additional plants for the garden.
