✂️ Care
Plant in full sun to partial shade in fertile, well-drained soil. Water regularly after planting to encourage root establishment, then maintain moderate moisture during growth. Remove faded flowers to prolong blooming and encourage branching. This creeping variety is perfect for walls, rock gardens, and borders, where it cascades gracefully without needing support.
This hardy and reliable perennial requires little maintenance and no winter protection. Ideal for walls, rock gardens, alpine gardens, and floral arrangements, it offers generous and delicate violet-blue blooms all summer long.
