I've planted a grouping of this small shrub next to the young Kiggelaria africana (Wild Peach) tree.
B. obtusa grows to a height of 75cm which is ideal as it will eventually be growing under the shade of the Wild Peach tree so it will create just the right amount of bushiness with its spread of about 1 metre. I've used it for this corner because it tolerates semi-shade as well as full sun conditions; and, its stunning blue-mauve flowers attract butterflies and bees.
This plant flowers between March and May so I've been fortunate to have some flowers on the young plants to instantly brighten the corner of my new garden.
