Talbotia (Velloziaceae)

elegans blue form

A small woodland or edge of woodland evergreen perennial, we were given by Dino Pellizzaro a dear friend and notorious plantsman from the south of France. Which forms weakly trailing stems of small sword-shaped leaves to 12 cm long with a V-shaped cross-section. Soon forming creeping patches to 20cm tall, in light to medium shaded sites, adorned with blue star-shaped flowers just above the foliage in late spring to early summer. Best grown in a drained soil that does not dry out. Only hardy to -10C.
