Flourished in year one. The foliage provides a wonderful contrast in my planting bed.

This is a super unique shrub that I’ve grown to love- it stays small and does not require any maintenance. Planting several in a row to make a border adds a beautiful pop of color- and the violet blue flowers attract so many bees and butterflies. This is one of my favorites and I get a lot of comments on how beautiful/unique they are!
