This is a plant I have wanted for a long time. When I was at the garden centre this week-end to get my new crabapple trees, I just could't resist these beautiful forget-me-not blue flowers any longer (my camera just does not do it justice) and I came home with 3 of these plants!! When it finishes blooming in spring, the variegated foliage looks nice the rest of the season.
This is a tough plant that does very well in shade, even dry shade (which I have a lot of!) It is hardy to zone 2, and will eventually get about 30 cm tall and wide.
I have a friend with this in her garden and it is gorgeous all season long--great choice!

This is one of my all time favourite plants! I love the blue flowers. Did you know the slugs will not eat it?

Yes it is one of my all-time favourite plants that I didn't actually have yet! Not sure why I waited until now except that they're not exactly cheap. Bonus about the slugs!
