Description
These versatile plants have delightful blue, purple and lavender flowers. Deeply cut leaves form thick rounded clumps that are beautiful until frost. They can be planted with ferns or other shade-loving plants, or given a sunny exposure as long as the spot is a moist one. The lush growth height is 1-2', and the plant can be invigorated by dividing every 3 years.
