A compact, low-growing shrub which produces a stunning display of scented, deep-blue flowers from mid-summer to autumn - a wonderful choice for enticing butterflies to the garden. Aromatic grey-silver-green foliage adds to its attractiveness and utility in the garden.
Feature:
Brilliant blue flower display late summer.
Uses:
Best used in mixed borders - it's deciduous over winter, so plant it among evergreens. Great in a patio pot when young - typically for its first season.
Position:
Full sun and a well-drained soil. Hardy to hard frost and rough conditions.
Care:
Cut back to one third size early winter, and give a dressing of general fertiliser once new growth appears in spring.
