Description
Mid summer will find this deciduous shrub glowing with large flat flowers composed of very wide deep blue to indigo sterile florets surrounding tiny fertile flowers even deeper in hue. The color holds well providing a flash of brilliant color through the summer. Accentuating the showy blooms is the bold shiny bright green leaves with a strongly toothed edge. The bold foliage is a great textural contrast to rhododendrons and azaleas.
