My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Help to ID blue-flowering shady groundcover

21 years ago

This goundcover is growing in medium, moist shade. It began blooming in late July. Look familiar to anyone? I'm pretty sure it is not vinca. My current guess is ruellia.
