Such a wonderful ground cover for DFW area, looks like a blue carpet in springtime due to all the little flowers the honeybees just love. Green leaves turn more burgundy in dead of winter but it comes right back early. Usually my first flowers of spring.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this plant! It is a fabulous groundcover, the flowers are extremely vibrant. It usually blooms twice for me-spring and again in late summer.
I'm growing it in full sun but I'm going to try and transplant some in a shady area and see how that goes. For a vine that looks so delicate it is extremely hardy!

A great plant and very pretty in borders or as an accent. Not terrific in dappled shade in central Texas -- much heavier blooming w/sun 5 hours or more.

This is a wonderful groundcover in my zone 8a gardens. It divides easily and is quick to root in a new bed. I highly recommend it, especially since it is evergreen.

Lovely ground cover, like a blue carpet in early spring, one of the first to bloom. Spreads nicely, but not invasive, and keeps its leaves in winter and they turn a pretty bronze color. A surprise favorite.

Great groundcover. It stays a bronzy color in zone 6 winters. When in bloom many people will comment on it.
Only trouble I have had with it is in trading it through the mail. Make sure you include a little soil as the roots are shallow which causes the roots to dry out.

Pretty blue flowers. Will spread by rooting along the stems, but not excessively so. Very easy to transplant by cutting a rooted stem from the mother plant.
