Pretty flower BUT this plant will eventually be in every square inch of your property in a few years. Spreads like a weed. Unless that is what you want, be careful. also in every crevice, including cracks in concrete/hardscape. Extremely invasive.
I consider this lovely blue trailing flower a staple for any
container garden. It also does well in a border if it gets
some afternoon shade. In this (hot & dry) climate plenty
of water is a must. All the shades of blue I have seen it
in are just beautiful; "crystal palace" is my favorite.
