Description

This fast-growing, open, spreading shrub typically grows 6'-10' tall and 6'-8' wide. It is reliable, hardy and does well in full or part sun and well draining soil. Established plants tolerate lime, drought and frost. This plant tolerates loam, clay and sandy soils. Plant in areas that are protected from winds. Established plants are drought tolerant but will benefit supplemental water if extremely dry. Unpruned, this shrub will lose its bottom leaves. Can be pruned after flowering period to maintain desired shape. This evergreen shrub has light blue flowers all year round.
