Native to Western US. Powder-blue flowers contrast nicely with textured mid-green leaves. Not an in-your-face plant, but good filler. One of our 2004 plants returned in 2005 (not surprisingly, since the intervening winter was mild), but didn't return for a third year.

In our garden, this plant grows in the following area: back yard island

Seed for this plant is included on my seed trade list
