Botanical Name: Trachystemon orientalis
Common Name: Abraham-Isaac-Jacob
Family Name: Boraginaceae
Distribution/Origin: E. Europe
Description: Superb ground-cover in dense shade. Makes an important feature with large course green leaves forming overlapping mounds. Curious blue borage-like flowers on pink naked stems, in early spring, before the leaves take over. Spreads by underground rhizomes and can over-run less robust plants and bulbs. Will provide rapid cover in dry shade although the leaves will collapse during very dry spells. Height 61 cm.
