Enjoys a full sun position in your garden and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Blues is thought of as half hardy, so remember to protect this plant from frosts and low temperatures.

Ensure that temperatures are mild (minimum night temperatures should be around 2°C / 36°F) and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Blues is a half hardy plant.

This variety tends to be ready for harvesting by mid summer.
