Blue Dragon (Dracocephalum moldavica) - Also known as Moldavian Dragon’s Head or Moldavian Balm, this annual plant was first botanically described by Linnaeus in 1753. It has been grown for centuries throughout Europe and is cherished for its fragrant, lemon-like balm. The leaves and flowers can be dried to make a soothing tea traditionally used to support digestion and promote calmness. Plants are sturdy, reaching 16–20 inches tall, and are covered in striking bright blue flowers that attract a wide range of pollinators. Best flowering occurs in full sun to partial shade.

Growing Instructions: Direct sow seeds outdoors after frost or start indoors 4–6 weeks before last frost. Sow seeds on the soil surface and press lightly—do not cover, as light is required for germination. Keep soil evenly moist. Seeds typically germinate in 5–10 days.
Transplant carefully or thin seedlings to 20–30 cm apart in full sun with well-drained soil. Plants prefer minimal root disturbance and grow best when direct sown.
