    From the childhood garden of plantsman and friend Derick Pitman. For part shade or dappled shade with summer water. Nice dark foliage with purplish veins and purple undersides, the foliage enhanced in summer by blue flowers. Frost hardy into the low 20s °F, USDA zone 9, so a protected spot or container.
