Nursery contributed plant descriptions
An easy to grow tropical plant that is right at home here in a decidedly untropical climate. It's minty scented foliage is a plus, but the large lavender blue flowers with a brush stroke of white steal the show. Pinch to keep shorter, or let it mingle with ammi and bells of Ireland.
