Forms

Note:
There are two distinct forms. Plants that grow in scrubland attain a height of 1.2m (4ft) tall and appear as a stunted bush and the other form appears in forests where it grows to 9m (28ft) tall.
Under cultivation the growth traits remain the same as in the wild and the stunted plants are suitable for small gardens.

'Cockaynes Blue'
