Nursery contributed plant descriptions

From friend and superb gardener Ellen Smart, grown in her Ridgefield WA. garden for decades, this Australian native forms spreading clumps of strappy green leaves 2 to 3' tall by a similar width in a about 5 years. With clusters of small, nodding, robin-egg blue flowers with yellow stamens. But wait there's more! Cobalt blue fruit forms on long stalks held near the top of the leaves in summer and autumn for much added interest. Has remained evergreen to 10 degrees or so. For 3/4 sun to dappled shade USDA zone 7b/8a. How about that?
