This particular bush is just outside our front door, and my wife and I love it! It thrives in it's current location, which is in full sun for about half the day. It is very easy to grow and care for, and as you can see, it becomes quite large over time. This one I'm guessing is around 5 years old and is about 5 feet high. This species is very popular in the southern United States. With it's blue, purple and pink colors mixed in every flower head, it is strikingly beautiful. Thanks so much for looking at my pic, I hope you like it!
