Yes it is,mine is a "concha"and a deep blue not yet in flower...but soon.Lots of varieties,mine looked very dead after the bad 2010/2011winter a man(irish accent) knocked my door and told me it wanted cutting down,told him I'd give it another year and its now looking just fine.You can never be sure in the garden (:0)
