Grows best in poor, well-drained soil in full sun, reaching two feet or more.

Bloomer - mine are only just starting to turn blue. You can see the state of most of the flowers from the small one on the right of the photo, but the main one is above the level of the wall, and gets more sun.

I have been pulling all that dead foliage from the bottom,this afternoon,among other jobs you get sidetracked into doing :o)

Suddenly disappeared after having grown in the same place for years, shame because I liked it.
