This oh-so-rare member of the mint family is best known for its whorls of tubular bluish-purple flowers. These are held on sturdy reddish stems, above 18” tall scented foliage composed of rounded green leaves. These whorls sprout up to 15 inch-long, two-lipped fragrant flowers reminiscent of Salvia patens. Flowering begins in mid-summer and attracts both bees and hummingbirds. This herbaceous perennial likes moist but well-drained soil and full sun to light shade. Use wherever you want a splash of purple, be that in a sunny bed or in a container. It is very cold hardy but does not like to be constantly wet, especially in winter. Be the first gardener on your block to say “Oh, have you seen my Dragonhead?!”
