The genus includes only perennial species; they spread by both
seed s and through stem division. Small purple flowers bloom on top of upper-leaf axils, often in several circular layers (hence the common name "pagoda-plant"). Leaves are bright green with whitish coloring underneath, pointed, lobed, and like all members of the mint family occur in opposite pairs. The species in this genus vary in size, but generally grow to about 1-2 feet and form in clumps.
