This low growing mound of icy blue foliage blanketed by masses of nodding, bell-shaped, small, pink flowers creates a dramatic effect as a groundcover. A lovely plant with a compact, spreading habit that is a charming addition to a rock garden and along stream margins. Beautiful as a low border or in containers. Evergreen.
