    Pretty clusters of pale blue flowers, that open form red buds, are produced in mid- to late spring above mounds of hairy, mid-green leaves. A great groundcover for woodland gardens or semi-wild areas. It is ideal for planting in bold drifts in a moist, partially shaded site and associates particularly well with ferns.

  • Garden care: Mulch with well-rotted manure in spring and dead-head after flowering to encourage the growth of young foliage.
