Description

This sprawling, mounding, somewhat vine-like, evergreen shrub is quite outstanding because it is covered most of the year with clusters of pale blue, phlox-like flowe

They are flowering herbaceous plants, subshrubs, or small shrubs growing to 0.3,1 m (0.98 to 3.28 ft) tall. The leaves are spirally arranged, simple, 1,9 cm long, usually with a hairy margin. Some of the species are evergreen, others deciduous.

The flowers are produced in a compact inflorescence, each flower with a five-lobed corolla; flower colour varies from pale to dark blue to red-purple. The fruit is a small bristly capsule containing a single seed.
