The 'Azureum' variety is a little smaller than the species, reaching about 4' tall and 5' wide. The grey and silver leaves are the perfect backdrop for deep blue flowers in summer and fall. Plants will tolerate full sun, reflected heat, drought, and considerable cold. Can be hedged. Mediterranean native.
