A closeup of the flowers shows the "long tubes" for which this species is named Common name trumpet spurflower Family lamiaceae Life cycle perennial (Z6-8) Flowers blue (autumn) Size 36" Light part shade From seed germinate at room temperature detailed seed-starting info below Woodland plant from Japan. I almost forgot I had planted seedlings in a few places around the garden this year, when I spotted, in late October, some clear blue flowers peeking from a shady corner. So far, the floral display is hardly showstopping, but if we get them through winter, I'm sure next year's treat will be more impressive.

Small ice flowers on the dormant stalk in early December; not as impressive as those on its close relative hardy spurflower, but this plant is just one year old

In our garden, this plant grows in the following areas: driveway bed, back yard island
