Description

Biennials or hardy perennials used for hundreds of years. This plant can be considered as a perennial due to their numerous spontaneous self-seeding.

The plants have ovate, dark green leaves with rough hairs and pale blue flowers. A slightly fragile perennial in cold weather, but survives thanks to its numerous spontaneous self-seeding.
