A low growing evergreen shrub with glossy dark green leaves, perfect for adding year round structure to gardens and landscapes. In late spring to early summer, it bursts into life with clusters of delicate blue flowers that attract pollinators, creating a vibrant display. This particular form is especially valued for its spreading habit, making it excellent as ground cover or for cascading over walls. It thrives in well drained soils and sunny spots, though it can tolerate light shade, and once established, requires minimal care. Its compact yet vigorous growth makes it a superb choice for erosion control or as a decorative addition to rockeries and coastal gardens.
