Brise d'Anjou' is a first class foliage plant for using towards the front of the border, where it's variegated green and cream leaves look for all the world like some exotic fern. Spikes of blue flowers rise above in early summer. This plant seems to prefer a shaded situation where summers are warm and humid, with protection from hot afternoon sun. also excellent in mixed containers.
Prefers a rich moist soil. Water well until established.
