I am a native clump forming plant with distinctive broad strappy silvery green and white foliage.
I produce dainty star shaped blue flowers in branching sprays that appear from spring to early summer.
Hardy and tolerant of a range of soils and conditions I am happiest in a sunny position in free draining soil.
I work particularly well mass planted and am great for high traffic areas, rockeries and make a useful accent plant in general landscaping.
