Moderate-growing herbaceous perennial with a compact growth habit to 10-12″ tall x 18-24″ wide. This attractive heat-tolerant dwarf variety forms a rounded-mound of narrow arching dark-green leaves and is accented with showy butterfly-attracting petunia-like violet-blue flowers appearing throughout the warmer months. Well-suited as an accent in beds and borders or as a mass planted groundcover. Also makes a good container specimen. Prefers a sun to partial shade exposure and requires little water once established.
