These seed-raised plants have a gray blue cast to their large, toothed, pinnate leaves. This is a plant that does not need to bloom to draw attention to itself. However, when it does bloom, the flowers form in spike-like racemes. They have an unusual scent, which, although not unpleasant, is nothing to take indoors.
