This herbaceous perennial is native to the mountains of Dalmatia in Croatia but now used in gardening. It is a tufted species with narrow grass-like leaves, 2 to 4 inches in length, and flower-stems at first drooping, afterwards erect, 4 to 6 inches high, with large flowers of a violet-blue color, in clusters which appear in July and August.
