Description
The main stem (caudex) of the plant is robust and has some roughly 2 millimeter large scales towards its top. The stems are clustered in upright tufts 4–22 centimeters (1.6–8.7 in) tall. The leaves are arranged alternate to each other along the stem, and their lower side is covered in dense silver hairs. Each stem is topped with a single flower which is on a very short stalk and is surrounded by 3 leaves. The petals are blue-purple in color and are 3.5–5 cm (1.4–2.0 in) long. The style is long, and almost extends up to the corolla. It flowers from July to September.
