Very pretty, native to my area, favorite in my garden.
Can be lanky, trimming keeps it pretty and blooming extra hard.
Stunning azure blue flowers. I have it in unwatered (except if no rain in 3 months) beds and it does great!
Even this year with triple digits starting in April, and extreme drought, it has only been watered 3x and looks fabulous.
love it.

I grew this from seed last year, and it bloomed the first year. It's now coming back in small, healthy-looking clumps. I collected seed last year, planted it, and those little seedlings are coming up. I love the blue flowers in the fall and the long blooming season.

Love this plant in my zone 5a garden ... comes back every year and is getting bigger -- it sprawls but the silvery foliage and beautiful blue flowers in mid-late fall are glorious ...
I think the hardiness zone in this listing is off ... if you google the plant it says zone 5-9 ... also says you can propagate from cuttings and division ...

One of the tallest native salvias, this one can be found growing in rich, fertile, tallgrass prairies in small colonies. The aromatic scent of theis plant is not favored by deer. Found in South Carolina to Nebraska to Mexico. Grows in sandy, loamy, and clay soils in full to partial sunlight. Blooms May-November.
Not hardy in this zip code, but a fantastic bloomer. Didn't look like it would do much all summer, but the early fall dislay in containers made up for the wait

This is one of my favorite sages. It grows quite tall with long flower spikes. I usually start it very early indoors. This year it reseeded and I had blooms on 2' plants by mid-June. It is not hardy in my zone 5 garden.
6 vendors have this plant for sale.
