While tender in our area, this is a stunner for sure! Large translucent blue potato-like blossoms with yellow centers decorate a backdrop of strikingly variegated slightly waving acuminate leaves.  A medium to large fast-growing upright shrub from Argentina, that can grow up to 10 ft tall in its preferred climate. But it loves pruning and can be kept smaller or in a pot to drag in in the winter as we do--worth the work! In milder climates blooms continuously, but we see them spring to summer. Blooms can be fragrant en masse. 

Plant in full to part sun, with good drainage, and keep well-fertilized for best displays.

Deer resistant!

Mature size:  8-12 ft T & 6-8 ft W without pruning

Carefully packed for each plant

Once your order is ready, we bring the plants from our greenhouses into a holding area. Each plant is wrapped by hand and, when needed, staked to protect tender stems. Because our inventory is so diverse, we adjust the packing method for each plant based on its size, type, and stage of growth.

We reuse clean paper and plastic packing materials whenever practical. It is easier on the planet and helps keep shipping costs down for you, too.

Choose your Monday ship date

At checkout, choose from the available Monday ship dates. We ship with UPS from Monmouth, Oregon, and you will receive an email with tracking information when your shipment is prepared or enters the UPS system.

Arrival times vary by destination and weather, so we cannot guarantee a specific delivery date or time.
