An erect, spreading perennial. The tall, straight, suckering stems, are clothed in bright green, heart shaped leaves, broadly margined in yellow. We have noticed During the warmer months it bears long spikes of blue, hooded, tubular flowers.Cut back to ground level stems that have finished flowering.Needs a little more wind protection than the plain leaved forms.
