A small evergreen, rhizomatous perennial from mountainous regions of Japan, Korea and China.

Has small, pale to mid-green, ovate, toothed covered in short white hairs. Bears lilac-blue flowers.

Flowers late spring to mid-summer but sometimes flowers longer.

Loves a well drained soil in sun or light shade.
