Fun facts:

The plant gets its name from the distinctive bluish color of its stems. The stems, which are often covered in fine hairs, create a beautiful contrast to the bright yellow flower clusters, making it a striking plant in any garden setting.

It spreads via rhizomes, which allows it to form dense colonies over time. While this can help create a naturalized, fuller garden effect, it also means that some care should be taken to ensure it doesn't become too aggressive in small spaces.
