Our plant this month is a perennial with rhizomes and a creeping base.
The stems are hairy and the leaves are opposite, toothed and short stalked.
The blue flowers are 4 lobed and irregular.
They grow on short pedicels
in racemes of 10-15 flowers.
This plant grows 10-15” tall and
can sometimes be found in
fields, meadows and other
man-made habitats.
