Moderate-growing evergreen perennial to 1-2’ tall spreading to 2-4’ wide via underground runners. This attractive species forms a low-growing mound of silvery-gray foliage contrasted with spikes of showy hummingbird-attracting bright-sky-blue flowers appearing primarily mid-spring into fall with intermittent bloom throughout the year in mild climates. Remove spent flowers to encourage re-blooming. Well-suited in rock gardens borders or planters and makes a good slope or hillside planting. Requires a well-drained soil in a full sun to light shade exposure. Low water requirement once established.
