The individual flowers on this are quite large. The yellow nectar guides compliment the mauve to pale medium blue flowers, off set with yellow pollen. Flowers here from July into September. This responds well to dryer growing conditions. Peter Goldblatt writes that he has maintained for years this species in a pot, though his plants are rather small in the container compared to the ones in habitat.
Flowers violet lilac purple.
