Actually, that plant is long gone. I overwintered it indoors and in the 2nd year it flowered while outdoors. They were a really pale light blue I'd say, pretty close to white but just enough to tell. I forgot what happened to it. They start getting funky indoors... like a white mold. And needles/leaves fall off. I think I might have just forgot to bring it in, or I brought in into the basement & forgot about it. I bought it as a 3-4" potted seedling about 6" tall and in the 2nd year it was about 30" tall and 18" wide. I tried taking cuttings to grow over the winter indoors but they got that funk and then lost most leaves and I gave up on them. Results from seeds are even worse, they have very poor germination, even the freshest seeds.

I'll buy another transplant in the spring. I had one from a supermarket on a southern windowsill but my mother has dementia & Alzheimers and she drowned it watering it to many times in a day, every day!
