Michael’s favourite ground cover plant. Superb for dense shade. Makes an important feature with large healthy-looking course green leaves forming overlapping mounds. Curious blue borage-like flowers on pink naked stems, appear in early spring, before the leaves take over. Spreads by underground rhizomes and can overun less robust plants and bulbs. Will provide rapid cover in dry shade although the leaves will collapse during very dry spells.<\/p>\n
Position: Dappled to deep shade
\n\u2022 Soil: Any deep moist soil
\n\u2022 Rate of growth: Moderate
\n\u2022 Flowering period: Early Spring
\n\u2022 Hardiness: Hardy
\n\u2022 Pot size: 2L
\n\u2022 Eventual height and spread: 60cm x unlimited!<\/p>\n
