Botanic information
Leaf: The small sessile acicular leaves have a soft and fleshy texture with a mucronate apex.
Flower: The tubulate flowers have 5-wedge shaped petals that are delicately pubescent and divided giving a 'fish tail-like' appearance. They are arranged in leafy corymb in the upper leaf axils and the colour varies from blue to white. They appear during mid-spring.
Fruit: The small capsule is not commonly seen and the plant is normally reproduced vegetatively.
