Care guide:
Best planted in partial shade, ‘Nightingale’ thrives in moist, well-drained, slightly acidic soil. Acidic conditions enhance the blue tones, while more alkaline soils may shift the colour toward lilac. It’s a great choice for woodland borders, cottage gardens, or shaded beds.
Water consistently and mulch annually to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Prune after flowering to remove spent blooms and shape the plant. With a mature height of around 1.5 meters, ‘Nightingale’ adds elegance and pollinator-friendly charm to any garden.
