My first thought was 'well this is a very dull little butterfly for Di's garden!' But then I read that it is called a 'Dreamy Duskywing' - what a wonderful name!!! Thank's for sharing!

Members' notes...
Bought 4-23-07 WalMart for $3.00. Zone 3-8. Blooms mid-summer and then again late fall. Deadhead. 12-18" tall. Allow soild to dry between waterings. Butterflies love it.
Outstanding new garden plant forming low mounds covered with pincushion-like, lavender-blue flowers all summer and into fall.
