Hi,
I bought one of these a few years ago and now I have quite a few, does anyone know the name of this, is it a Mullein?
Thank you,
Kathy

Do you have a closer shot of the flowers? It almost looks like a Lobelia to me, but I can't quite make out the flowers well enough to be sure. Lobelia erinus is one that is tall with blue flowers [HYPERLINK@davesgarden.com]

Hey Guspuppy,

It looks more like a Salvia. Maybe Salvia forsskaolii (Indigo Woodland Sage ) I have'nt a clue how to hyperlink but here is the link to Dave's Garden page - [HYPERLINK@davesgarden.com]
