Hundreds of small, blue and purple-blue
flowers hover over this beauty's glossy,
dark green foliage. This long blooming
sage, flowers in late spring and will
repeat bloom later with summer rains.

Native to the pine forests of AZ, this
blue flowered beauty is a winner for
the kind of dry shade found under
trees, conifers and tall shrubs.

Iit spreads slowly to form a tall,
pleasing groundcover.

A favorite nectar snack for
hummingbirds and bees, plants
are grown from seed from high
elevation pine forests in
Graham Co., AZ.
