Salvia azurea var. grandiflora
Azure Sage |
USDA Zone: 5-9 |
Plant number: 1.468.040
Native to the Southeastern USA, this is not a well-known garden perennial, but spectacular in the fall garden. Plants form a low mound of green leaves, sending up tall stems in late summer that are topped with spikes of bright azure-blue flowers. Excellent for cutting. Flowers are attractive to butterflies and hummingbirds. Plants are tolerant of heat and humidity as well as summer drought. Clumps may be easily divided in early spring. A gem of a plant that deserves far more use in the fall border.
