An attractive, small compact evergreen shrub with dense green velvety foliage and masses of violet blue flowers from late summer through to autumn. Great plant to use for borders amongst other shrubs/trees where it can grow protected from strong winds.
It is a spectacular specimen, especially when flowering. The leaves are rich green and large making it useful as a screening plant. It grows to about 1.5 - 2 m tall and 1 m wide. It prefers full sun, well drained soils and warm sites. It will not tolerate frost.
