Violet-blue flowers in late summer on purplish-brown shoots and dark green leaves, red-purple when young, with prominent, brown-purple midribs. This medium sized, rounded shrub is ideal for a well-drained border in sun or part shade. It's particularly suitable for urban or coastal gardens since it tolerates urban pollution and salt-laden air.
