Slender perennial from China.

Has light-mid green leaves divided into 3 leaflets and each leaflet is divided into 3 lobes which gives the plant a soft fern like effect. Bears two lipped, blue, tube shaped flowers, each with a white throat.

Flowers between April-June.

Likes a fertile, leafy, moist, well drained soil in partial shade.

I've had trouble keeping this one so it now resides in a pot and kept in a cold greenhouse in winter where it appears to be very happy.

Regional...
