The story
A groundcover with two seasons.
A low, spreading mat that turns out deep gentian-blue flowers from late summer into fall. As the nights cool the leaves go bronze-red while it's still blooming, so you get blue and red at once.
Light
Full sun to part shade. More sun means more flowers and better fall color.
Water
Water weekly the first summer. Once established it tolerates dry spells.
Planting
Plant in spring or early fall in average, well-drained soil.
Late color and fall foliage from a groundcover that handles sun or part shade.
