An evergreen shrub that grows 3-5 ft. high. This plant has a spiky form, small olive-green foliage and blooms with fragrant blue flowers periodically through spring/summer. It is drought tolerant and attracts hummingbirds. It will flower more than some of the other selections. Found on rocky limestone hillsides 4-7800' and is drought tolerant once established. Likes limestone soil and good drainage.
