• A profusion of cup-shaped, upward-facing, 2 inch wide, vivid blue-violet flowers with lighter centers float above the mound of dark green foliage from late spring to late summer if deadheaded regularly

• Forms compact, uniform clumps making it a good choice for edging, containers, the front of borders, or growing among rocks

• Prefers to have its roots in cool soil; summer mulch is useful, particularly in hot summers

• Tolerates a wide range of conditions and spreads rapidly as long as good drainage is provided; performs poorly in very dry or wet soils

• Tends to be more compact than other carpaticas and blooms 2-3 weeks earlier

Homeowner Growing & Maintenance Tips:
This is a robust, rock garden species, and many will thrive on sunny walls or banks. They require moist, very well-drained soil and will grow in either sun or partial shade.
