This handsome, evergreen shrub has fluffy clusters of rich sky-blue flowers in late summer and small, glossy, bright green leaves. It has a strong, upright habit and is ideal for training on a sunny wall, or for the back of a south or west-facing shrub border or sunny wall. It is a good idea to protect this one from cold winds. Annual trimming keeps plants bushy and leafy.
