Moderate-growing, clumping evergreen perennial to 24-30” tall x 18-24” wide. This attractive hybrid forms a vase-shaped clump of upright-growing, Phormium-like, grayish-blue foliage that’s great for using as a color and texture contrast to darker colored shrubs, succulents or perennials. Adding further appeal, are the tall spikes of loosely-clustered, star-shaped blue flowers that rise above the attractive foliage in summer. This low-maintenance variety has few known pests or diseases, and is well-suited in rock gardens, as an accent, border or mass planting, as well as making an outstanding, bold-looking container specimen. Prefers regular watering and thrives in a full sun exposure in coastal climates, partial sun to partial shade elsewhere. Deer resistant.
