A hardy and minimal care tufting perennial plant. Flowers in summer with blue-purple sprays followed by bright blue decorative berries. A useful plant for difficult positions such as under trees, and for coastal gardens. Grow in full sun to part shade. If foliage becomes damaged it is easy to tidy up by pulling away old leaves to leave fresh new growth.
