Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A striking cultivar with exceptional blue foliage and a vigorous habit. Dark chocolate flowers appear at the tips of the foliage through summer and fall. In our experience plants are shorter than the type but spread over time. Plant alongside ponds and streams or in containers where its vertical form and cool color can be appreciated. A San Marcos Growers introduction. Hardy to 0 °F.
