Goblet Flower is an Iris relative and blooms July-September. Each stem blooms multiple times, but each flower only lasts a day. The flowers open in the morning and start to fade before night fall. Cypella coelestis has lovely pale silver-blue flowers with a brown and yellow interior. This one gets about 2' tall and clumps in full sun, in good, well-drained soil. It does appreciate some summer water though.
I was going to say " I missed that one" Nice
ReplyDeleteSorry to have missed your open garden. This flower is new to me...quite lovely.
ReplyDeleteThere is also a lovely yellow variety that gets about half as tall as the blue: Cypella herbertii
DeleteNice! I like how it takes over after the irises are done... extends the show, so to speak!
ReplyDeleteI just picked one of these up today at 'Joy Creek ' As soon as I popped it into the ground the flower died ...oh we'll tomorrow
ReplyDeleteIt will bloom progressively up the stem, so you will get another flower in a day or two.
