Fabulous late season downward-facing deep blue-purple tubed flowers with flared lips on branched inflorescences blossom at the tops of square stems. These occur over opposite rounded strongly serrated leaves with a cleft at the tip nearly dividing each leaf into two lobes. A curious and interesting long tail sprouts from between the two lobes adding even more character to this choice perennial.
