A wonderful flowering plant for flowerbeds and urban gardens. Excellent pot plant for patios and terraces.
Evergreen plant 80-100cm tall. Long, dark green leaves. Large umbels of deep blue-violet flowers during the summer and autumn.
It needs humid, well-drained and permeable soils under mild and hot climates. Easy to grow.
Dig a hole at least two or three times as wide and deep as the root ball. Take out the plant from the container and loosen roots to allow them to spread out in all direction. Cut possible broken roots. Mix the soil extracted with a substrate and fill part of the hole with the mixture obtained. Place the plant in the hole and cover with the remaining mixture. Compact the soil around the plant and water thoroughly.
