Perennial, evergreen, unpretentious plant with a trailing stem. It grows in shady places and over time forms a dense covering on the ground.

Its leaves are leathery, яйцевидни и блестящи. Цъфти с ефектни сини цветове през април-май.

It is used as a ground cover plant for shadier places, to strengthen the soil, in rock gardens, wide borders, аранжировки в кашпи и ампелно растение във висящи кошници.
