Spreading and clump-forming perennial that's a picture from spring and into summer. Lush fern-like foliage and prolific mauve-blue flowers with a low and spreading habit make for a useful ground cover. Its lacy appearance makes it a useful plant for softening hard lines and edges created by rocks, garden edging or paving.
Something a little different in the popular sweet-pea-bush, a compact grower with glaucous leaves and rich pink/purple flowers. This evergreen shrub tolerates poor soils and dry conditions. A light clip early in spring will encourage new growth and a spring flush of flowers that will last until summer, and repeatedly spot flower almost all year round. Lovely contrast with white-flowered underplantings.
We use the word ‘stunner’ on the front of the label without reservation - this plant's early spring display has to be see to be believed - it's an iridescent blue. Add its versatility and ease of growth, and you've got a garden, basket and patio pot subject-supreme.
