Absolutely LOVE this plant! We just moved to a new house and got a couple of these to try out in a NE facing bed. They popped out blue flowers from summer till after the first frost! I couldn't believe how tough these little plants are! Can't wait until it warms up a bit because I'm definitely buying more!!!!
