Delicious, deep blue-purple flowers are 2” across, nicely rounded & beautifully contrasted with a crown of golden stamens. Outward facing, they rise up nicely above the large & lustrous, rich green (& evergreen) foliage, blooming Winter thru early Spring. The foliage forms a good sized, bushy clump to 2’ across & remains attractive year around, making a nice shade groundcover under trees or near the front porch.

Average to good, composty, garden soil with a topdressing of compost once a year for best show.
