It features tall, slender spikes adorned with deep blue-violet flowers that create a stunning contrast against its dark green, aromatic foliage. Typically growing to a height of 18-24 inches (45-60 cm) and spreading to about 12-18 inches (30-45 cm) wide, 'Blue Monday' is a compact and well-behaved plant that fits nicely in garden borders, containers, or as part of a mixed planting.
