    Overall rating: 5.0 / 5 from 1 reviews.

    This is a very unique flower for the garden. An abundance of light blue puffballs are easily grown from seed. They also have attractive, sort of fernlike leaves. It is said to self seed, but it grows so easily, I just pull it out with my fall clean up! Although the flowers are only about an inch in diameter, they will really are an impactful addition. I have never noticed any kind of scent, but it's a great find.
