Poor Man’s Weatherglass – a beautiful blue barometer Anagallis monellii ‘Skylover’ is a stunning tender perennial which, whilst not exactly a measure of atmospheric pressure, is said to open its blooms on sunny days and close them when clouds or rain is pending – hence one of its common names. Furthermore, the deep, heavenly blue colour of its blooms is rarely seen and always admired! Flowers provide a spectacular show from June to September (and in sheltered areas until the first frosts). With a neat, compact habit it is ideal for rockeries or underplanting where it will form wonderfully cushioned, springy mounds. Anagellis monellii ‘Skylover’ also makes a great addition to your containers and hanging baskets where the creeping stems can gently cascade over the edges growing 30-40cm in height and spread. Prefers a site in full sun with moist, well-drained soil although plants will tolerate some shade. Mostly grown in the UK as an annual as it is a tender, herbaceous perennial.
