Hardy Perennial. This is a beautiful clump-forming bog or aquatic perennial with dark green, glossy leaves and spikes of lavender-blue flowers that emerge in late summer. Will form a large clump in time and can be divided in spring. Needs full sun and a bog condition or can be grown in shallow water. Deadhead faded blooms for best results.
