Brillantaisia subulugarica

I picked this up at the garden center last May. It was about 12 inches tall. Now, it's about 6 feet tall! When does this thing bloom? What do the flowers look like? Will I see anything before the first frost?

Thanks.

It should have flowered by now. It has bluish/purple flowers born on a long stock. The flowers are similar to a thin snapdragon. Mine blooms in the spring and lasts all summer. It just lost it last flowers a week or so ago. They are super easy to start from cuttings. In fact, I don't even try to compost them anymore as they don't die and start rooting in the compost......
