I hope someone else can tell you more

Some lovely blue ones, I've a mind to sprinkle a pkt.

I have this and the flowers will pop soon though if thats a leaf in the image, its not dealbata! C. dealbata has a distinctive pinnate leaf.

He's a deeper colour - really magenta, and his flowers are 'denser', not so spread out.
