Its opposite, basal leaves are attached to stems with short petioles (leafstalks) and are elliptic to oblong, measuring about 1 inch in length. Leaf margins can be either entire or irregularly serrated. Flowering stems grow 4-8 inches long and have smaller but broader leaves which lack petioles. Inflorescence is sparsely glandular and composed of a compact raceme. The flowers are few and only 1.5 inches long, but appear larger in relation to the minuscule size of the leaves and stems. The showy blue-violet to purple corolla is shaped as a tube and bears a wide, lobed mouth, from where long woolly anthers are projected outward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4-12\"\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWatering needs:\u003c\/strong\u003e moist to dry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSun needs:\u003c\/strong\u003e full sun to light shade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil needs: \u003c\/strong\u003ewell-drained\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom Time:\u003c\/strong\u003e may to early august, sometimes again in fall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLandscape Use and Ecological Function: \u003c\/b\u003eThis plant is found in volcanic pumice rock slopes, open woods or forest edges at moderate elevations.
