detailed seed-starting info below

Low-growing plant with dark green foliage and purple-blue flowers. It's a perennial, but for some reason has a hard time coming through winter for us after its second year - so acts more like a biennial. Deadheading/cutting back may help to extend its lifespan.

| Linda | Mar 14, 2011 | I was wondering if this plant was invasive?
I've not found it to be aggressive. Doesn't spread by roots, and I've not seen excessive self-seeding either. |
