@bastbrothers: Most gardeners buy Boom Chocolatta for the flowers, but the real reason to plant it is the chocolate-colored foliage. The blooms are just a bonus. ✔️ Hardy perennial (Zones 4-8) ✔️ Deer resistant ✔️ Full sun to part shade ✔️ Violet-blue blooms in late spring to early summer ✔️ Incredible contrast against all the green in your garden Pair it with hydrangeas, coral bells, or chartreuse foliage for a combination that really pops. A great perennial for beginner gardeners! . . . #gardentok #PlantTok #beginnergardener #perennials #perennialplants @provenwinners
