Neutral Baa On Oct 19, 2002, Baa wrote:

An upright, herbaceous perennial from Asia.

Has small, ovate, mid to greyish green leaves with scalloped edges. May have purple or green stems. Bears two lipped, blue or blue-violet flowers borne all up the stems.

Flowers mainly from June to August

Loves a well drained, poorish soil in sun but will tolerate some light shade.

Not particularly hardy and dislikes winter wet so some winter protection may be required in cold or wet winter regions.

Excellent rock garden plant.
