    by the beach

    Posted by Liz Rosa on Mar 21, 2019

    I planted a few of these by my beach, in a location that gets full sun the entire day. These plants just thrived last summer, even when I forgot to water them regularly. The flowers in the picture don't do it justice. The blue really stands out, especially next to the dark mulch I had around the plants and the green leaves. Seems like I picked the perfect location for these.
