Not sure I got the correct identication on this one. I grew this plant from seed that turned out to be obviously mislabeled (this is not a dracocephalum), and never quite figured out what it really is. My best guess for now is reflected in the page heading - if you know better, please let me know. Whatever its name, it's an OK sage - not the showiest, and the leaves are a bit coarse, but it can stick around if it wants to.
