Description

A perennial ornamental herbaceous plant prized for its lush blooms throughout the spring period with a multitude of daisy-like flowers that rise above the foliage and are characterised by their attention-grabbing blue or azure hues as a highly decorative focal point. With its compact, globular habit, it is ideal for decorating terraces and balconies in planters or pots, even hanging ones, as well as flower beds. Easy to grow, it requires full sun exposure and soil conditions free of waterlogging.
