Clusters of soft, periwinkle-blue, star-shaped flowers appear in late spring to early summer, attracting pollinators and adding airy charm. As the season progresses, the foliage remains lush and vibrant, turning a golden yellow in fall for multi-season appeal.

Care Tips:

  • Plant in well-drained soil with full sun to partial shade for best performance.

  • Water regularly until established; drought tolerant thereafter.

  • Cut back stems after flowering to promote a fuller shape if desired.

  • Leave foliage intact in fall for vibrant autumn color and cut back in late winter.
