Description

Trim evergreen rosettes produce a bounty of dazzling cobalt-blue flowers with fetching white eyes throughout the garden season. This will naturalize with moderate self-sowing in many border situations, filling blank corners of the border with luminous twilight blue. Also grows in amended sandy or clay soils.
