compact plant with blue and white bicolor flowers that face
upwards |

Care |
Remove flowers as they fade.
When a stem is done flowering, cut it back to its
base. Deadheading
provides for a longer bloom time.
If foliage becomes unattractive, it may be cut to the
ground. A new flush
of growth will occur. |
