| Landscape | Excellent in flower borders and beds, although will take up a large section of the garden. |
| Propagation | Propagate through division of clumps, although clumps should be left undisturbed for at least 3 years in order to allow the leaves to reach maturity. Plant in spring or (in areas with milder winters) autumn, allowing the roots to soak overnight in a weak solution of liquid fertilizer first. |
| Cultivation | Grow in partial or full shade in any fertile soil that has been enriched with well-rotted organic manure. A pH of 6-7 is preferred, and a continuous supply of moisture is critical for optimum performance. |
| Pests | Slug resistant, but rabbits and deer may be a problem. |
| Notable Specimens | The A.M. Cuddy Gardens, Strathroy, Ontario, Canada. Royal Botanical Gardens, Burlington, Ontario, Canada. |
| Habitat | Horticultural origin. |
| Leaf Description | Leaf blade measures 28 by 18 cm, having a smooth texture and soft-blue colour. |
| Flower Description | Flowers are bell-shaped and purple, and are particularly attractive to hummingbirds. |
