Dainty but fast-growing, this little groundcover from the rocky alps of N. Italy is a lovely way to ?green up? a semishady rock wall with its tiny glossy leaves and violet flowers (which turn into the wall for seeding!!) PSh-Sh/M

An aggressive, spreading perennial with small scalloped leaves and charming violet-blue flowers throughout the summer. Some consider this the ideal plant for quickly covering stone walls or filling crevices in a rock garden and others consider it a weed; whatever opinion you hold, it will astound you with its vigor! Plants stay less than 2' tall and spread almost indefinitely. Provide sun or part shade in well-drained soils with moderate water. Withhold water to limit the spread. Hardy to 0F. Western Europe.
