Description:
If you think all heliotrope are alike, think again! ‘Azure Skies’ belongs to a different species than the more common varieties. It is low-growing and spreading, with a well-branched, vigorous habit and mounds of pastel lavender flowers. This makes it a good candidate not only for mixed containers, but also as groundcover. This American native is very heat tolerant, but also frost hardy to USDA zone 7. Try it – you’ll love it! |
