Angela’s Garden Notes:
We planted this new selection side-by-side with 'Looking Glass' and noticed a huge difference in foliage toughness. The leaves are thicker and more pubescent (or hairier) and they seem to hold up much better in extreme heat and humidity. The blooms are still deep cobalt blue and the foliage is as silver as a baracuda's skin. Try this plant in your shade garden. We promise it will brighten up the spot.
