Is a compact little bush covered in late summer with curious knobbly flower heads which carry two kinds of flower. The fertile flowers arranged in vertical rows, are small, and very dark purple-blue. Above them, to entice pollinating insects, is a flag of large wavy petals, of a lighter shade of purple. Mid-late summer. This plant needs very well-drained soil.
