The Sky Pilot is a perennial plant with clusters of striking blue, bell-shaped flowers atop a tall stalk. It's quite a sight to see!
While it isn't toxic, the Sky Pilot doesn't offer much in the way of nutrition and its taste isn't exactly top-notch. Plus, that smell... P.U.!
Given that it's not typically consumed, there ain't any known preparation methods for this plant.
Despite its lack of culinary uses, the Sky Pilot is valued for its ornamental beauty and is a popular subject in nature photography.
