Ferri Seeds Dracocephalum ruyschiana Dragonhead

No, this variety is poisonous if ingested. It should be planted in areas where pets or children are unlikely to consume the foliage or flowers.

You can expect this plant to reach a mature height of about 10 inches. Its compact, clump-forming habit makes it an excellent choice for the front of a border or rock garden.

As a hardy perennial, this plant typically focuses on root development during its first season. While you might see some growth, you should expect the most reliable and vibrant blue blooms starting in the second year.

It is quite adaptable and performs well in dry to average soil conditions. Ensure the planting site has decent drainage, as it prefers not to sit in waterlogged soil.

Because of its compact 10-inch size, it works very well in containers. Just ensure the pot has adequate drainage holes and is large enough to accommodate the root system as it matures.

Once the plant is well-established, you can propagate it by dividing the clump. This is best done in the spring or fall when the plant is not actively blooming.
