Fast-growing evergreen shrub to 5-8’ tall and wide. Can be sheared to maintain a smaller size. This popular low-maintenance variety features upright-growing bright-green foliage accented with abundant clusters of eye-catching deep-blue flowers appearing spring through fall or nearly year-round in mild climates. Cold-sensitive foliage can be damaged in temperatures below 25° F but recovers quickly. Well suited as an accent colorful hedge slope or mass planting and does well in containers. Moderate to light water needs. Prefers a well-drained soil in a full to partial sun exposure.
