A beautiful fast growing evergreen, mound forming shrub with attractive glossy foliage covered with clusters of soft powder blue flowers May-Jun. Prefers a sunny sheltered site if possible. Good ground cover plant. Ideal for coastal sites. This may sound like a contradiction to the 'no wind' statement above , however wind is not the problem it is the freeze drying effect they don't like. Superb!
