Nursery contributed plant descriptions

The medium blue flowers -- with hints of lavender and a darker strip on the petals -- are lovely in July and August on this dwarf, evergreen perennial to only 16" tall. This selection of a South African native requires well-drained soil and sun to part shade for best performance. Tolerates some drought once established and resents too much water but thrives with regular moisturizing in the growing season. Frost hardy in USDA zone 7. An excellent cut flower.
