Description How to Grow More Info Delivery

This unusual perennial is native to mountain meadows in China where it thrives in rocky, freely draining ground. It has long been grown in Chinese gardens, where it is valued for its intensely blue, tubular flowers borne on upright, unbranched stems above clumps of softly hairy leaves. A relative of catmint, it makes good ground cover for rockeries, slopes and dry borders. Height and Spread: 30cm (12”).

Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.
