Short-lived perennial. Acts like an annual in colder areas. Soft, deeply-lobed, bright green leaves. Varying shades of purple to blue flowers. Cultivar 'Edith' available with lavender-pink flowers. Trim back in late winter to remove frost damage from plant and promote flowering wood. Does best with a little time in the shade. Susceptible to root rot if over-watered.
