Bright blue tubular flowers are heavy in early spring on this selection but will also occur until frost. Leaves are evergreen, narrow, and needle-like. Habit is rather sprawly so care with pruning needs to be taken. Flowers occur on new wood. Frost resistant and drought tolerant even in the low desert.

Frost tolerant to 20 F.
