I tried Perovskia Sextant twice, it was supposed to go up to 70 cm , which is more useful hight than 140 cm of the "normal one". It died both times here, reason??? I do not cry though since I've learned they have a running habit. I already have Campanula rapunculoides and Adenophora of some sort(even worse) to fight with, which is enough for me.

I wouldn't call 'Little Spires' dwarf, but it doesn't sucker--a big plus for me.

I can't rember which one I had, but it spread underground so I ended up yanking it - and am still yanking bits that reappear!

I guess it must depend a lot on soil...how much it runs I mean. I had the large variety for a long time, and while it did send out runners, they were usually fairly close to the mother plant.

-laceyvail, so how big ultimately is/was your 'Little Spire'?

My plants, maybe 4 years old. are abut 3 feet tall.

Bump. Anyone else have thoughts/comments to add?
