This herbaceous perennial forms a clump 2-3 feet tall and wide with square stems and aromatic, lance-shaped leaves. The flowers are borne in dense, vertical spikes of intense violet-blue, each flower with a prominent white "lip" (the mealy cup). Blooms from spring through fall with a brief summer pause in extreme heat.
'Henry Duelberg' thrives in full sun with well-draining soil. It's exceptionally heat, drought, and humidity tolerant—superior to the species. Hardy in zones 7-10. Cut back after spring bloom for a fresh fall flush. A Texas Superstar® plant for proven performance.
Excellent for xeriscapes, native plant gardens, pollinator borders, and containers. The blue spikes combine beautifully with yellow, orange, and white companions. Attracts hummingbirds, bees, and butterflies. Deer resistant. A low-maintenance, high-impact native for challenging southern conditions.
