Evergreen groundcover native to the northern Balkins. Grows to about 8 inches tall by 36 inches wide with heart-shaped, downy leaves and small, blue funnel-shaped flowers spring through fall with peak in mid-summer.

Plant grows well in Temecula, CA. We do get some frost but doesn't hurt the plant. Great ground cover ~ one that is easily pulled out in areas you don't want it. Not invasive. Highly suggest.

Have planted this in both mottled shade and full shade, with equally satisfying results. As a groundcover, the vibrant green offers vivid contrast in shady areas. The flowers are wonderfully bright, and the plant grows vigorously. A very satisfying ground cover. I combine with Siberian bugloss (variegated) and hardy cyclamen, peonies and heuchera.

Exuberent grower, makes a wonderful groundcover in sun or dark shade, although more floriferous in sun. The flowers are very long lasting and produced over a long period of time.
