Known as the lead plant producing tall spikes of small, dark violet to purple flowers with orange anthers from late summer to early Autumn, on tall stems of feathery, grey-green aromatic pinnate leaves
Prefers full sun to dappled shade in moist free draining soil & is very drought hardy once established, a hardy sub shrub in mild winters or herbaceous in colder ones, so cutting back hard in the spring brings the plant to life again.
