Fast-growing evergreen shrub to 4-6′ tall and wide. This tough low-maintenance selection features attractive gray-green leaves with silvery-white undersides that give the plant an overall silvery-green appearance. Borne on the branch tips are its showy deep-blue flowers that appear late-spring into fall. Great as a contrast to bright colored shrubs and perennials as an informal background or clipped into a hedge. Tolerates poor soils and has relatively low water needs once established. Prefers a full to partial sun exposure.
