Awesome large branched perennial for relatively frost free gardens on the coast or inner city areas. Also great for the conservatory or greenhouse although when grown in a pot it can be thirsty due to its fast growth. Hairy leaves and large, dense panicles of deep blue, bell-shaped flowers.
Flowering from April to August on mature plants.
Drought resistant when grown in the ground and needs sharply drained soil with full sun.

Sent as a young plant in a 9cm pot. May be cut back for shipping. Large leaves may be removed or cut back for shipping otherwise they dry out extremely quickly in transit. Re-growth is very fast.
