The Gardener's Notepad
An outstanding ground-cover for sun or shade, and deer resistant, too! Flowers are a very pleasant shade of blue, and foliage is dark green. It will spread indefinitely, so be aware of that when siting it in the garden. Makes a nice companion for large perennials such as Hosta or Bleeding Heart. Tolerant of very dense shade.
