You see flowering blue rain throughout the city. Often purple flowers in large bunches, hanging on barns, carports and pergolas. Not only beautiful to see, but the floral scent is also striking. After our call, the photos of your most beautiful blue rain ‘rained’ in the garden and on balcony.

A blue rain has been blooming every spring lush in the garden for forty years, the other plant skips for a year, to the owner’s despair. No matter how your blue rain is there, the Zoetermeerders below are all too proud of their blue flowers.

Paradise for bees

Long strands

Ed Dreijer has a pergola with blue rain in his backyard of his house on the Vissendreef. To be sure, he picked up his measuring tape to measure the long strands of about 60 centimeters. “For the first time in years that the blue rain strands have become very long.”

Turfschipkade (Leyens)

Arnold Berkelaar is a bit proud of his blue rain. Perhaps he has the largest climbing plant in Zoetermeer! “The plant is 41 years old and goes even further than in the photo. It is also beautiful on the inside of the garden. This year there will be major maintenance: then I will prune it again to prevent the gate from being pushed away slowly but surely.”
