Anagallis monellii-Blue Pimpernel. This was the first year in the trial for blue pimpernel. The plant itself had good vigor but not a lot of blooms. We will probably test this in Dickinson in 2001 as it prefers light, well-drained soils; our heavy clay in Fargo may have hindered its growth in some way. Its creeping habit should work well in rock gardens, baskets or pots.
