Comments:
This is an excellent ground covering perennial in the cooler regions of the country. Plants form a mst of foliage and blue, lavender, or white, depending on the cultivar. Plants need a fertile humus-rich, moist soil. Powdery mildew can often be a problem, especially in the hot, humid south.
