I've had one of these going strong for four years now. It usually dies down completely, or only has a few small leaves in the winter, but it always comes back in full force as soon as it warms up.

Blossoms are a deep blue & are held several inches above the water and it's an excellent bloomer. This tropical is very fragrant and is great for any size garden. The leaves are a dark green with slight speckling. Requires full sun.
