These foliage leaves provide a lush backdrop for the stunning flowers that bloom from late spring to early summer.

Growing up to a height of 40-50 cm, the 'Mona Lisa Blue' windflower is a relatively compact plant. Its few-flowered inflorescence adds a unique charm to its overall appearance. The structure of this plant is predominantly herbaceous, meaning it is made up of soft, non-woody tissues, giving it a delicate and graceful appearance.

When it comes to light conditions, the 'Mona Lisa Blue' prefers semi-shade. This means it thrives in areas that receive partial sunlight throughout the day. This makes it an excellent choice for planting in areas that are partially shaded by trees or buildings. It can also be grown under the dappled shade provided by high-growing perennials.

In terms of growth type, this windflower is trailing, meaning it has a tendency to spread or ramble along the ground.

Its trailing growth habit allows it to create a beautiful visual effect when planted in containers or hanging baskets.

As for moisture requirements, the 'Mona Lisa Blue' windflower is relatively adaptable. It can tolerate both dry and normal moisture levels, making it a low-maintenance plant in terms of watering. However, it is essential to ensure that the soil is well-drained to prevent waterlogged conditions that could harm the plant.
