Teucrium hircanicum 'Purple Tails'
Teucrium 'Purple Tails' is a brilliant flowering herbaceous perennial with semi evergreen, aromatic grey green slightly rough leaves. Tall, narrow spikes of flowers appear summer through to autumn. It is a good flower for cutting and I have used it in a container with other flowering perennials and grasses for a more wild plant arrangement.

Cultivation
Grows best in full sun, will tolerate part shade but you may get less flowers. Moist but well drained soil and it is written that it will tolerate drought when established, not something we experience a lot of here!
Prune in the spring to tidy up and shape.
