Larger than average, salverform flowers form in the leaf axils of the slender stems. Their lavender-blue colouring mixes well with most shades of pink, purple and blue, while the plant's prostrate habit will add structural diversity to ferns and hostas. - Garden care: To prevent the plant from becoming invasive cut back any unwanted shoots in spring.
