POLEMONIUM - Brise d'Anjou
Description:
P. 'Brise D'Anjou' (pronounced breeze DAWN jhew) translates to Breeze of Anjou. Rene and Maurice Prouteau discovered the plant in Anjou, France. With the picturesque Loire River and vineyards surrounding Anjou, this plant must have added to the breeze of Anjou. Many variegated forms of polemonium were noted in 18th century texts, but few plants were to be found. When the Prouteaus discovered this sport in the French countryside, they found the plant was stabile. It certainly is proving to be a reliable plant in my garden.
