Comments:
This is a tropical that must be protected from freezing temperatures. It produces beautiful bicolored blue flowers in the shape of butterflies. It makes an excellent container plant, but grooming is needed to keep a specimen tidy. It is often trained to be a shrub form. It is reported that cuttings root easily when placed in water or rooting media.
