I just got one of these and was wondering if bees visit it, then saw this video and noticed a few bees on the flowers, so it answered my question, thanks!

So glad you liked hearing about this wonderful little plant. I love the short compact habit and the fabulous blue color. Just in case you are interested there's other taller forms and pink ones too.

When the flower stops booming do you pull off the dried bud?

[@Petlover10000]

Do they grow it Full Sun or Partial Shade/Sun?

[@RichKessler3]

Do these not bloom more than once? I've tried deadheading over the years but nothing ever seems to return, despite what I was told when I purchased them. Is there a trick for this, or do only the taller varieties bloom again?

[@yellowishgreendragon.-.]

If it's in a pot try changing the soil, going up a pot size and then if that doesn't work try moving it's position to more sun or less sun based on where it is. Remove any dead foliage and flowers too. Maybe do some research on how much water it's getting vs how much it needs.
