The stems grow upright and occasionally present fine hairs. Broad, sharply toothed leaves grow oppositely along the stems and are elliptic to lance-shaped. The lower leaves are attached to stems with petioles (short leafstalks), whereas the upper ones are clasping, lacking petioles. Single or sometimes as many as 5 whorled clusters of flowers top the long stalks and each flower is supported by a hairy calyx. The lavender to deep blue corolla is composed of a short, funnel-shaped tube, narrow at the base, and extended into two lobed lips at the mouth.
