“Blue thou art, intensely blue; Flower, whence came thy dazzling hue?” – James Montgomery
Capim de Santa Luzia / Slender dayflower
Native to Central America, North America, South America, it is a flowering herbaceous plant originating in the tropics, but which has a great capacity for adaptation and can now be seen in subtropical and temperate climates.
The stems are erect to ascending, about 40 cm tall and easily take root when the nodes touch the ground. The flowers have two blue, large and showy petals and a third, small, white and discreet. Flowering occurs in spring and summer.
It is a very rustic plant, but it does not tolerate very dry periods. Suitable for creating massifs and rows next to walls, being excellent for covering the ground around tree trunks, as a half-shade cover. Can be planted in vases and overalls too.
Due to its great capacity for adaptation and multiplication, it can become invasive.
