✂️ Care

This robust and low-maintenance variety is ideal for borders, rockeries, and slopes. It creates a remarkable floral carpet with its blue-violet flowers and attractive foliage.

Regularly remove spent flowers to extend the blooming period and encourage an abundance of new blossoms. Light pruning after flowering helps maintain a compact and balanced shape.

Apply a light mulch at the base to improve drainage and gradually enrich the soil. Once established, this plant requires very little maintenance.
