Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Lavender-blue flowers in small clusters sit atop small, glossy recurved leaves. A very hardy "ironclad" plant withstanding frost even when in bloom.

By: Bloom River Gardens

The best, hardiest plant of the species, this variety withstands frost even when in flower. It is also tolerant of sun and swampy conditions. The beautiful lavender-blue flowers occur in clusters of 6-8. Beautiful! (RN, rn, Lapponica)
