The new variety commonly flowers from June to November and forms in abundance large purple flowers in clusters on a substantially uniform basis. The plant propagates well through the use of cuttings. An additional choice is provided to gardeners seeking an herbaceous perennial. Attractive linear green leaves with substantially parallel venation are formed. The plant is well suited for providing colorful distinctive ornamentation.
