Botanic information
Leaf: The pubescent dark green sessile leaves are ovate to oblong with narrow lanceolate-like stem leaves. The apex is sharply acute and tend to arch.

Flower: The salverform flowers have 5-petals that may be notched at the apex and are lavender-blue to white with a purplish dotted centre. They appear in a cyme just above the foliage in early summer.

Fruit: The small capsule produces tiny seeds that are viable but the plant is commonly reproduced vegetatively.
