Anglea:
According to the AHS's A-Z Encyclopedia of Garden
Plants, Commelina coelestis is a ...
"Vigorous, clump-forming, erect, tuberous perennial
with hairy, fleshy stems bearing ovate-lance-shaped to
oblong-lance-shaped, clasping leaves, 3-7 inches long.
From late summer to mid-autumn, freely produces cymes
of vivid blue flowers, 3/4-1-1/4 inch across. Central
and South America. Zones 9-10."
