It blooms in the spring when small blue flowers rise above the foliage about 3″ – 4″. plant it between stepping stones , or under a bench or in the front of the perennial border. It needs something other than full sun, but can take several hours of morning or afternoon sun. It is easy to divide, but like everything else in Oklahoma, do it in spring so it can grow a full season before harsh fall and winter winds. USDA Zone 4 to 9a.
