I just want to share this plant. It is the most amazing groundcover and living mulch. I plant lots of ground hugging plants inbetween my pink limestone pavers. I have a few posts that show it blooming. It has been doing its thing for at least a month. And this plant is xeric with its grey green leaves and purple flowers.

Kris, I think it could take a little shade. But it should not have wood or leaf mulch. I mulch it with pea gravel. The leaves are greyish green which means it stands up to dry sun. I also have covering large areas and blooming later Lavender thyme. That does take more shade. But again no large wet mulches.

Your gardens are so beautiful. That blue really stands out. I will have to check into that. Will it take some shade?
