Fw: low growing and blue or purple


Nan:
The only thing I can think of that is really mounding and fits this criteria is Cuphea hyssopifolia, sold as Mexican heather or false heather.  It's color is very good, bright green with purple flowers, but they are not a deep purple.  The mints mentioned aren't exactly mounding in form, in my mind.  I do also have  a lovely mound of dwarf plumbago, ceratostigma plumbaginoides, that is a perfect deep blue, but it doesn't get sun all day, only in the afternoon, which is, of course, the hottest time of day.

Got any suggestions for a  low growing or mounding perennial or subshrub that is low water and has a deep blue or purple flower?  Full sun, well drained soil, drip irrigation.

Thanks!

Nan
