Andromeda polifolia 'Blue Ice'
Andromeda polifolia 'Blue Ice', or bog-rosemary 'Blue Ice', is a small groundcover shrub with a dense, rounded habit, appreciated for its unique silvery-blue foliage and delicate spring blossoms. It forms a compact and elegant carpet, perfect for cool, acidic areas such as rockeries, pond edges, or heather beds. Its pink bells in cascading clusters offer a lovely contrast with its bluish foliage and discreetly attract pollinators and admirers. Very hardy, 'Blue Ice' is also appreciated for its soothing textural appearance and great stability in peaty soil. A discreet yet refined plant, ideal for adding a soft, Nordic touch to natural or minimalist gardens.
