I had it but got rid of it -- I either gave it away to my SIL with a batch of other stuff or tossed it, don't remember. I've tried, but I just can't give short or mid-height cultivars the love, they can't match the gracefulness of the traditional tall ones like "Blue Charm" in my eyes.

MXK I wonder if you mean a different one than Blue Charm. I remembered that as short and when I looked it up just now it's supposed to be in 1-1.5 foot range. Blueskywalker is about 3 feet tall here. Very floriferous aNd pretty upright. No bumpy lumps like Sunny Border Blue

A gardening acquaintance had a veronica that must have been 4.5 feet tall. It was so graceful. I have no recollection of its name. I covet the tallest ones, but haven't seen them in nurseries and haven't ordered on line in a few years. I notice what's missing during the growing season and by then it is too late to order. I completely agree about the loss of grace and charm in stumpified plants

I've said a few times recently how I dislike the miniaturization of so many plants. The reason offered is they are for small gardens. But for design purposes that makes little sense to me. Small plots are not viewed by only by very short people. I'd still go high impact in a small garden with a few big tall specimens. But to each her own.

"I've said a few times recently how I dislike the miniaturization of so many plants."

I'm right there with you on that...

I'm pretty sure the tall ones were Blue Charm aka Lavender Charm. But it's been so long since I've had it and memory isn't what it used to be. It was boob height with long, graceful spires. Sigh...

I don’t have skywalker, but this Spring I planted her ”sister plant”, Lavender Lightsaber, which is also a tall variety. I’m very much looking forward to see it blooms!

Please post pics of your Skywalker if you can! I would love to see it! :)

"boob height"....???

Is that scientific botanical terminology?

(hahaha!!!)

you could say chest height, but actual height varies. A six foot tall personś chest

height is probably quite different than chest height of a person 4 ft 9in.
