Blue Mammoth is such a spectacular shade of blue this year I gave him a shade porch! Just a small grillwork table that is already too small, though.

I'm in zone 5 and no, that color doesn't hold, but I wish! The photo was taken over a week ago and it's gradually changing - gets a lot of sun. Here's a shot I took today.
Love that texture in your Blue Mammoth!

What a fantastic looking BM!!! Hmmph.....that didn't sound right , did it?
Anywho.....mine doesn't have that great blue color. It's more of a blue green , leaning more towards the green, but it does grow exceedingly well!

Yup, its a lovely blue for a few weeks. This is my B.M. a couple of yrs. ago. It hasn't unfurled yet this year.
