Deep green spotted silver leaves with long blooming blue flowers that fade to rose pink in spring. Slim long leaves. Likes moist soil.

Rating for this plant:
Foliage makes a nice show in the garden with its spotted leaves. Unfortunately it self sows readily and can be invasive as a result. Difficult to pull out.
