Salvia chamaedryoides

Salvia chamaedryoides Details

Salvia chamaedryoides, commonly known as Germander Sage, Oak Sage, and the Mexican Blue Sage plant, is a shrub grown for its rich display of flowers from summer through autumn. It produces long, slender, flower spikes with small, bright blue flowers that are very striking. The flowers sit neatly above the small, grey foliage and are great for attracting butterflies and birds. It typically grows to 40 cm tall and 1 m wide, performing best on a well-drained, sheltered site in full sun. It is frost hardy once established and will tolerate during dry periods. Salvia chamaedryoides is ideal for mass planting as a groundcover on a bank, including in cottage gardens, using in borders and mixed plantings, or planting around outdoor living areas such as pools.
