This cultivar was introduced in the U.K. in the 1920’s from Beechwood Nurseries.
It is notable for forming a very compact mound of green foliage. The bloom occurs early with dark blue, sweet-scented flowers on long green stems. Its long flower spikes produce larger flowers than some of the other L. angustifolia cultivars.
