'Mountain Pride' has deep green foliage with profuse deep purple flowers in spring and early summer. Occasionally prune to form a sprawling mound of foliage and flowers (great on a bank). Or plant as it is seen in the wild  near the base of a taller shrub it can twine through  poking out here and there to put on a show of flowers. Drought tolerant  but will look lusher in summer with infrequent  deep waterings.
