Description

Little-known perennials, of great interest for their superb summer flowering. Their flowers, in the shape of a strangely hooded tube at the end, resemble those of salvias.

Tuft of upright stems bearing dark green linear leaves. The sky blue flowers are carried in short and dense spikes.
