This is a tender perennial that grows from a fleshy-rooted rhizome. An evergreen species that produces rounded clusters of blue, funnel-shaped flowers atop stiff, upright, leafless, fleshy stalks typically rising 18-24" tall above a dense mound of grass-like leaves.
Blooms in summer. Plants bloom best when roots are pot-bound. Foliage mounds are attractive when plants are not in bloom. Pots, containers, borders. Good fresh cut flower. Grows up to 2' tall.
