A vigorous selection suitable as a groundcover in rock gardens with dark blue, upward facing trumpets. The main blooming season is spring but they can re-bloom throughout summer and fall. The leathery foliage is evergreen. For any good garden soil, needs light shade in hotter regions. 2 3/8" square - 3 3/4" deep pots. Blooming size.

Evergreen mat-former with very large cobalt blue trumpets spring to early summer. A rich moist soil in full to mostly sun is best. Despite popular opinion, these are pigs and thrive on a good manure mulch!
