I'm doubtful that this is really
Dracocephalum purdomii
- wrong flower colour, for one thing.
Here's the description from eFlora of China:

Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.

I had this one from a seedex maybe 10 years ago as D.imberbe- whether it was true I do not know.

It's rather nice though.
At least some species throw other colour forms. I have D. argunense and though it's a good blue, a proportion of seedlings are very pale blue (much like that above) and a few good whites.

Very true - they may be blue in the wild where outbreeding is more likely- so this could be why 'The Flora of China' describes them as blue or purple. In cultivation inbreeding can lead to different colours such as albinos.
