Interesting shrubby-looking perennial with a woody base (doesn't climb). Late bloomer with smaller hyacinth-like purple flowers.

USDA Zones: 4 to 8
Culture: sun (in cooler areas), half sun, dappled shade, light shade; grows well in average soil, tolerates clay, sand, rocky soils. The ideal spot is in medium moist soil and a somewhat cooler place.

Plant combinations: This is a great perennial addition to a to half-shade border, sunnier woodland edge or woodland garden, or in the transition spots (difficult to identify areas with changeable sun/shade).

It's structure is somewhat coarse - good combo is with grassy leaves of Carex, Hakonechloa, Iris (I. cristata, and it's Asian counterparts, I. tectorum, shorter cultivars of Iris sibirica), Sisyrinchium, Tradescantia or narrow-leaf Hosta cultivars.
Other good combinations are with plants with simple-shaped or smaller leaves like some Ajuga, shorter Amsonia cultivars, Epimedium, Chelone lyonii cultivars, Gentiana andrewsii, Monarda bradburiana or M. clinopodia, Phlox divaricta, Phlox stolonifera, Phlox carolina hybrids, Prunella, Ruellia strepens, shorter Solidago, Spigelia marilandica, Stachys.
