Excellent ground cover in dry shade. It has an oval dark green evergreen foliage. Small, light blue flowers at the leaf axils, continuously renewing themselves on the young shoots from April to June and more occasionally until autumn. It has a compact and well-covering carpet shape. Easy to grow and undemanding plant. It tolerates dry soils but is more vigorous in cool soils.
