A low-growing, spreading evergreen perennial, it is characterized by an abundance of vibrant, azure-colored flowers. These blossoms, reminiscent of a clear summer sky reflected in a calm tidepool, create a striking visual impact in various landscaping applications. This plant is commonly used as ground cover, in rock gardens, or spilling over walls, where its vivid color provides a welcome contrast to surrounding greenery and stonework.
The value of this plant lies in its adaptability to different soil types and its drought tolerance once established. Its ability to thrive in sunny locations makes it a practical and aesthetically pleasing choice for regions with warm, dry summers. Historically, plants with intense blue flowers have been prized for their ornamental appeal and their perceived ability to evoke feelings of tranquility and serenity in garden settings.
