No, it isn't the mint Physostegia. It is in another plant family altogether (but in the same order, Lamiales). This is a species of Agalinis in the Orobanchaceae (The Broomrape family, what an awful moniker). Agalinis are commonly called False Foxgloves though, they are a bugger to identify, but this species is likely one of two, either A. fasciculata (Beach false foxglove) or A. obtusifolia (Tenlobe false foxglove), I still need to see the leaves to be sure. Most members of the Orobanchaceae are root parasites, making them difficult to cultivate.
