A MUST HAVE strobilanthes for it's lovely winter flowers of large pale blue in this selection from the Himalayas. Seems to be quite hardy except possibly in the coldest gardens where it will regrow to flower that year in most cases, especially once it has had a couple of years to grow bigger. Semi-shade in a moist but not waterlogged site is ideal. Handsome evergreen foliage.
