A much-branched plant with plentiful spikes of good sized purplish-blue flowers with a contrasting white lip that are well displayed over copious, large, hairy, pea-green leaves. Dark brownish-red calyces add to its attractiveness. Lovely with light yellow, like the pale yellow umbels of Achillea ("Yarrow"). 2' x 2'.
