Fast-growing evergreen perennial with a spreading growth habit to 6-8” tall x 3-4’ wide. This highly-floriferous variety forms a dense carpet of deep-green foliage accented with masses of showy, vibrant, fan-shaped violet-blue flowers that appear continuously from late-spring into fall or nearly year-round in mild climates. Well-suited in beds and borders, as an edging, groundcover or container specimen, and makes an outstanding hanging basket. Grows best in rich, loamy, fast-draining soils and prefers a full to partial sun exposure with regular watering. Too much shade or heavy, poor-draining soils will tend to produce a weaker, less floriferous specimen.
USDA Zone: 10A-11
