  • Notes

Mature specimens of this evergren shrub can grow to a size of 6-8' tall and 8-10' wide. In the spring, spikes of rosy violet to blue purple flowers appear. It should receive sun to part shade, with little or no summer watering when established. This plant can be severely damaged by frost below 25 degrees F. -Monterey Bay Nursery
