I LOVE the look of these plants (or, should I say, "the small bit of one which still remains")... some "critter" seems to find them desirable too as in Spring~~>early Summer, I can enjoy huge, beautiful, blue & white flowering clips along the front border of the entrance to our home, & THEN, the very next morning when I go out to admire & deadhead our lovely plants, I find they have been munched away right down to the soil, & then, they do not come back ever again!

Both Blue Clips and White Clips are fantastic bloomers. They edge my front garden and everyone remarks on them. You can divide them easily and they grow remarkably fast. Rain or shine, they look great. I have them in full sun, light shade and shade.
