Description

Bright blue tubular flowers are heavy in early spring on this selection but will also occur until frost. Leaves are evergreen, narrow, and needle-like. Habit is rather sprawly so care with pruning needs to be taken. Flowers occur on new wood. Frost resistant and drought tolerant even in the low desert.
