This perennial dies back to below ground level each year in autumn, then fresh new growth appears again in spring.
"Plant to the rear of the flower border or let it self-seed around a wildflower garden; endlessly useful as ground cover clothing gently sloping banks"
I bought a plant 6 years ago. For the first 3 years it lived in a pot, but it was attacked by a nasty black mould. Then it was moved to the garden where it grew into a nice big plant but this year is the first time that a few flowers appesred! They're not a deep blue - more a lavender blue. So yes, be Patient!

Bought this spring 2017 and planted straight away. Grew well, but no flowers as yet. This is most probably because it needs time to establish - hoping that I get to see the flowers this year.

These are great in the spring, with flowering lasting about a month. Deadheading encourages more flowers, but if you want the pods in the autumn and winter, stop deadheading towards the end of the flowering season. The flowers are virulent, even in my slightly claggy and less than ideal soil. the picture really does not do it justice, as there are far more flowers on most plants I have seen, including my own.
