The perennial isodon inflexus generally grows in thickets and thin woods. Its Japanese name is yama hakka, which means mountain mint. It has pale blue to purple blooms and the blooms may appear between September and October. The leaves are oval with coarsely serrated margins. The flowers' lips are often described as similar to a boat's appearance.

Crested flower Isodon
This prolific, tough, water-loving perennial can sometimes make a nuisance of itself in rice paddies, making crested flower Isodon a crop weed in countries such as Vietnam. It does have very pretty purple flowers, and its seeds can sometimes be found for sale from rare plant nurseries and seed exchanges. It is a relative of catnip.
