With beautiful blue flowers clustered atop two foot tall stalks, hound’s tongue is named for the shape and texture of the leaves that form a rosette at the base of the plant. It’s native to the sunny meadows and dappled shade of hillside forests that don’t receive a lot of water in the summer. A pretty plant for dry shade! We have lots of deer that don’t eat our plants, but we can’t guarantee that deer won’t eat yours.
