About this plant
A prostrate plant with trailing foliage and pretty cone-shaped spires of blue-violet, white-eyed flowers. This form has showy foliage with the long slim leaves coloured bright green and having a bright and variable golden margin. Sometimes such showy variegated foliage is at odds with the flowers which can't compete. However, in this form the combination is effective. This is late spring and early summer flowering.
