PLANT DETAILS

Hardiness Zones: 7 - 11

Soil: Well-drained

Sun: Full Sun and Part Shade

Seasonal Behavior: Evergreen

Growth Rate: Moderate

Height at Maturity: 2 - 3 Feet

Spread at Maturity: 1 - 2 Feet

Flower Structure: Produces clusters of small, star-shaped, blue-purple flowers.

Blooming Season: Blooms in late spring to early summer.

Color: The flowers are blue to purple, creating a striking contrast with the green and white variegated foliage.

Light Requirements: Prefers partial shade to full sun. It thrives best in partial shade, especially in hotter climates, to prevent leaf scorch and maintain vibrant foliage color. In cooler climates, it can tolerate full sun.

Soil Requirements: Thrives in well-draining soil. It prefers slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0-7.0). Incorporating organic matter such as compost can improve soil fertility and structure. It can tolerate various soil types, including loamy, sandy, and clay soils, as long as they are well-draining.

Watering: Requires moderate watering. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water deeply to ensure the root zone is adequately hydrated. Once established, it can tolerate short periods of drought but performs best with regular watering during dry periods.

Temperature and Humidity: Hardy in USDA zones 7-11. Prefers moderate temperatures and can tolerate a range of humidity levels. It is well-suited to both tropical and temperate climates. Protect the plant from frost and freezing temperatures in colder regions.

Fertilization: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring to support healthy growth and vibrant foliage. An additional application of compost or well-rotted manure can enhance soil fertility. Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can lead to excessive foliage growth at the expense of flowering.

Pruning: Prune dead or damaged leaves as needed to maintain a tidy appearance. After the flowering season, remove spent flower spikes to encourage new growth. Light pruning helps to maintain the plant's shape and overall health.

Pests and Problems: Generally pest-resistant but can occasionally attract aphids, scale insects, and spider mites. Ensure good air circulation to prevent fungal diseases. If pests are detected, treat with insecticidal soap or neem oil. Regularly inspect the plant for any signs of disease or pest infestation.
