This many-named plant is a herbaceous semi-shrub perennial that can be an annual in colder climates. It is compact and upright with bushy ridged green leaves that are not pleasant to touch. Clusters of fragrant tiny flowers resembling miniature daisies, burst from the branching stems touting their rich purple color.

In warmer winter climates it may possibly into the winter months.
