Plant uses

An ideal plant for rock gardens or for filling gaps between perennials in garden borders. Mix with other blue, mauve or white flowering plants for a soft, cool colour scheme or alternatively plant in small drifts of two to three plants in a hot coloured border of yellows, oranges etc. to give the eye some relief from these spectacular but sometimes overwhelming displays.

Cultural care

A full sun position is preferred although light shade will be tolerated. Will grow in most soil types providing there is good drainage. Low maintenance requiring only a light trim after main flowering flush to encourage new growth and further flower production. Frost hardy.

An application of slow release fertiliser during early spring would be beneficial.
