A low growing evergreen clump forming perennial. Unusual mid-green hairy foliage, augmented in spring by clusters of blue bell-like flowers held on leafy stems. A very attractive and much read about plant. For a moist position in light shade.

Nice small scale ground cover for the shade garden or partly sunny spot. Early spring pink tinged bluish flowers appear with abandon before the leaves emerge. Thrives in a heavy moist soil. Great with Hellebores.
