Perennial species from Siberia. Spreads via rhizomes to make a neat mat of upright stalks with oblong, toothed leaves and smaller, ovate, scalloped stem leaves. Bears short racemes of hooded deep blue flowers (1½ inches long)with darker blue spots on lower lip.

Hardy little plant which attracks bees.

Needs well drained, fertile soil with some shade during the hottest part of the day.
