Herbaceous perennial blooming in mid-spring with purple-blue flowers that open from the bottom of the stem up. The leaves and stems are covered in sparse but prominent white hairs. It is native to north central Texas down to New Mexico and northern Mexico. Probably more of a wildflower than a border plant, but let's see how it does. It started blooming, on small plants, in our nursery area, in late spring from a batch of seed sown in March.
