Seedlings of slaty blue/gray plants. Very adaptable, they don't mind heavy soil and are very drought tolerant, however, will more likely grow into impressive clumps in rich, moist soil.

These, from our best slate flowered plants, have a mauve-ish overlay with an almost metallic sheen, particularly beautiful in the faded light of winter. Care as for others of its kind in mid-shade to full sun in any but the wettest soil. Wonderful planted with such creatures as black mondo grass to provide winter contrast to the flowers. Frost hardy in USDA zone 5 with protection from wind – or higher.
