    5' tall with an arching 8' spread. Consistent early bloomer with warty green leaves and brilliant clear blue flowers in button-like clusters. It has performed well in both partial shade and full sun with minimal supplemental water. This strong Dara Emery selection is a dependable medium-sized shrub that deserves greater attention from California gardeners. Hardy to 15 °F.
