Also known as Snake Herb, Polkadots, Narrowleaf Dyschoriste
This plant has several erect stems that grow from the root and stand 6-12 inches tall. The stems and branches are covered with stiff, coarse hairs. The leaves are opposite and range from 3/4-2 3/4 inches long. They are attached directly to the 4-sided stem. The 2-lipped flowers, which are lavender to purple with purple stripes in the throat, are about 1/2-1 inch long and up to 1 inch across. They grow in the leaf axils on very short stems and are scattered here and there on the main stem.
These bell-shaped flowers occur in leaf axils in late spring; they repeat in late summer with sufficient moisture. The flowers are pale lavender to purple in color and two-lipped.

Winter Shipping: We will continue to ship throughout winter. If you prefer, we are happy to hold your order until spring; please include that request in your shipping notes.
When you order plants from our nursery, you can expect them to arrive in the best possible condition. Our team carefully packs each order using sturdy, biodegradable packaging materials.
Your plants' appearance may vary depending on the season and their current growth stage. We may cut back the leafy growth of some plants to prepare them for shipment and transplanting.
5 Gallon and Up: Any plant purchased to ship over 5 Gallons will be shipped bare root. This means we will remove the plant from its original pot, remove the soil surrounding the roots, and wrap the roots with a biodegradable plastic bag. This reduces weight and the likelihood of damage during shipping.
Once your plants arrive, it is essential to plant them as soon as possible. This will help them rebound and thrive. If you cannot plant immediately, water regularly and keep the roots off heat-conducting surfaces.
Newly transplanted plants often require more water until their roots are well established. Plan to water them 1-3 times weekly for the first few months.
