My intense blue blooms create highlights wherever I am planted. My large clusters of bright purple-blue small flowers on long stems stand high above my lush broad leathery foliage.
I flower in all but the hottest months of the year.
I am a good choice for borders, rockeries, coastal gardens, pots and tight spaces.
My tidy appearance and neat habit belies my hardy nature which makes me a good choice for exposed locations and challenging locations such as besides swimming pools.
I make excellent cut and dried flowers.
