The stem of the plant is usually covered with trichomes (small hair-like projections), and can grow 40 to 80 cm (16 to 31 in) tall. The leaves are opposed, meaning that they grow in pairs, sprouting directly across from each other. [1] The flowers are light purple. The fruits are dark purple and form in capsules 7 mm (0.28 in) in length.
