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.
