Flower Blue Can anyone recommend a shrub/plant for indoor use that will have a blue flower?
I would like to have something that will bloom in blue to remind me of a close relative who passed away recently. If anyone has any good suggestions as to which plant or small tree they think would be suitable... links to sites where I can see a picture would be very useful also... thanks )
My mother has this plant and it is an amazing shade of blue. One of the truest blue flowers I have ever seen.It needs a whole lot of sun to bloom inside though and she does put it outside in the summer. Still, it is a very cool plant and you might want to check into it.
Apparently some blue hydrangeas can be successfully grown indoors but I have no experience with it and am somehow skeptical.

Exacum (persian violet ) can be a lovely blooming houseplant but the blue does tend to fall on the purple end of the spectrum. They are pretty though, so you might want to look at them.
I've never tried to grow ageratum indoors but it might be worth a shot. After all impatiens grows and blooms beautifully inside. Ageratum is one of the bluest flowers that is readily availble.
