Description: Adapted. Low-growing, evergreen to semi-evergreen groundcover forming dense mats of foliage. Attractive, often colorful leaves (green, bronze, burgundy, or variegated) and striking spikes of blue to violet flowers in spring. Blooms attract pollinators. Thrives in shaded areas where grass struggles, although foliage will be more sparse. Spreads by surface runners; can naturalize quickly in favorable conditions. Deer resistant. Tolerates a range of soils if well-drained. Not tolerant of strong afternoon sun. Good for underplanting trees, shaded borders, or erosion control on slopes.
