This small shrub is grown for its large, true blue flowers. They bloom from late spring through frost, and the large, fragrant blossoms attract pollinators. It only grows to 2 feet tall by 2 to 3 feet wide, allowing it to fit into nearly all landscapes.

It performs best in full sun and is adaptable to a wide range of soils, although it will need water during dry spells. This plant works well as an accent, in a butterfly garden, or as a foundation plant.
