This generously blooms from mid-summer late into the autumn. Its brilliant flowers play off of the silvers and browning grasses in our no-water border. This has died to the ground in the winter but always emerges in the spring. The small, mint-like leaves are lightly aromatic. Red and blue highlights play across the rich purple color of the flowers. Each has a distinct white spot at the interior entry of its tube.
